  Fantastic news!!! I haven't been watching. Which lobby group do we have to thank for this?

  Recent efforts via fixmytax.com but since I think they are funded by DSICA (aka the big boys like Diageo) I Wonder if that campaign will end as they only got a small fix that doesn't do much for the big boys!

  Original campaign by Bill Lark, Pat Maguire et al.

  However pushed by everyone who had a chance to talk to govt on excise policy for years!

  BTW the govt now say there are 100 licenced distilleries in Australia!

  We have 2 automatic excise increases between now and when the proposed relief comes to fruition. Assuming the government of the remains in power after the election.

  I hope they go down like a sack of shit of course.

  Still i think labour would hopefully honour this.
