Tax part deux

Leading on from the last post,
I forgot to mention that they decided to scrap the tax earlier this year!
YAY! This drops the prices of alcopops that were $5 down to $2 per bottle!
Massive price reduction!

Maybe this will also drop the sales of spirits as teens will convert back to the RTDs as statistics I found showed the plan worked to some extent because after the tax was brought in, premixed drinks dropped in sales by 70%.
The Governments plan was working
...
Too bad at the same time full strength spirit sales went up by 68%!
Hmmm anyone else think they're related?

Anyway we're back to normally priced alcohol...think your safe...NO!
Mr Kevin Rudd PM decides he wants to stick to his guns and is attempting to bring the tax back in! OMG leave us alone!
