Beer and spirits are too expensive, Mr Dutton!

Did Jim Chalmers invent the Dishwater Martini?

It’s no secret that Labor and the Greens want you to ‘eat ze bugs’. The way our economy is going, eating insects will soon be all we can afford. Steve McQueen was the epitome of cool, but a real-life version of his bug-eating prisoner in Papillon is not the ideal I aspire to. And while McQueen managed to escape by jumping off a cliff, all we have to do to be free from tyranny is get Mr Dutton to shout us a few drinks. I’d vote for that.

Writing in Unfiltered newsletter, Alexandra Marshall had this to say:

Aussie pub culture – as well as our beautiful wineries – are in big trouble with excise tax going up again. This greedy and limitless money-grab by the government has reached the point where it is collapsing businesses across Australia. Not to mention that teenagers have switched from having a drink with their mates to engaging with extremely dangerous party drugs. It’s a sad state of affairs and the Treasury is wholly responsible.
