The review, completed by former ACCC chairman Allan Fels and transport expert David Cousins, found that motorists will pay more than $123 billion in tolls over the next 37 years, of which more than half will come from motorists using A three-phase reform plan urged the government to create a state-owned tolling authority with the power to negotiate with toll road operators to regain control of the roads, so it has more control over setting prices.
