Vendors can charge their customers a credit card fee in Australia, this has been in place for several years. There is no rule as to what it is, some charge a percentage (e.g. 5%) some charge a flat fee.
If you were paying 5% of a $1000 fare, it would come to $50.
The flat fee of $25 is like paying 2.5% on a $1000 fare.
Qantas think that it is ok to do, and the only recourse you have is to not give them your business.
