The problem is we have a Health Minister, which is an oxymoron (for a .....), who part of a Government that bangs on about getting the budget into surplus like its the only thing that matters.
vaping has dropped the extortionate cigarette tax revenue(a pack of cigarettes is now, for 20, $25+). To top off them trying to ban nicotine and force people back to paying for their surplus, they now full well the lower socio-economic sector are the ones who smoke and who can least afford it. And of course any other choice of government who would raise an issue is seen as "wanting to recklessly handle the economy" and not get the budget back into surplus. Which reinforces my central question, why do we have a government if it doesnt act in our best interests.
So anyways, the ..... Heath Monster will be getting all his ducks in order and getting his Border Force looking for anything that *might* be nicotine, labelling it VG/PG or anything else to try and disguise wont get past his SS guards...at least not for long
We need to get rod of the current government, but our choices for an alternate arent great, while we have a bunch of old white men who's policies havent progressed form the 1950's, think climate change isnt real; and think the earth is flat, the alternates are madder than a cut snake. One of them who spoke out against the ban was the numtpy who asserts climate change isnt real and in the past said that NASA faked all the photographs and data it was using to show climate change were fake, just as fake as the moon landing. It was priceless the night he and Brian Cox were on the same panel show, Cox kept hiding facepalming all night at this pillocks stupidity. Then we have the greens who want to give kiddies access to all drugs 24.7 and live on hemp seed. These are our alternate choices. The Labor party, who just lost the unloseable election last year arent wiling to stick their necks out because its a long wait until the next election for them.
So, clearly, we're fudged....
