Have asked for Dublin to review and reprice it - will let you know tomorrow.
QF did not drop fuel surcharge on international routes. Most airlines are being slow to reduce the fuel surcharges - I expect AA is the same. If you want to pay less tax then wait a few months. Of course that may create other issues (like fares going up, rule changes invalidating routing, schedule changes causing problems, etc).
