Did you know they are thinking of putting a tax on wine?

Now another brain wave from this crew who just never do the sensible thing and think of the consequences of their actions and whom if affected - pity because if it goes ahead it will affect the one group who cannot switch to another way - pensioners and who make up the bulk of the sales of wine casks.

Not that that would worry PM Gillard who said pensioners dont vote Labor.

So if you buy casks and dont want to pay more tax on them go here.

I guess it won't worry the politicians seeing they get it for free at most functions.

If they paid their own way then they would not have to slug the pensioner.

Abby , I would have thought that you would know that pollies do not drink from wine casks.

That is reserved for pensioners. Very seldom I agree with Val but I do with this one.

The link Val provides seems a bit of a radical group but if it means that something that is important to many pensioners is threatened, then either support them or else contact your local pollie.

You are right there fwed

They would not steep so low to drink out of casks

They are using the ploy of stating that this move will cut down on teen drinking...I know many teens and NONE drink wine! Just another tax grab of course, as the economy is mis-managed.
