Zenithe posted:I think there still should be some consistency with excise tax. For the life of me I have no idea why spirits are taxed through the roof but you can still get 5L of Coolibah for nothing. Wine is taxed at 30% of wholesale price, which is why goon is so cheap - the wholesale price is probably about $7. If the normal alcohol excise was applied it would put the price up to $70 for a goonbag. That would also bring down the price of bottles of wine that wholesale for more than around $17 a bottle IIRC, so a bottle of Grange would be about $200 cheaper lol I'm not sure if the taxation arrangements are still the same but a few years ago the brewing companies were pushing really hard to promote cider because it was considered for excise purposes as wine so it got the same favourable tax treatment. Les Affaires posted:Instead of a flat excise on every litre of alcohol, why not just a floor price so that Coolibah and all the other ridiculously cheap ones disappear out of the market?

The 'journalism' over teen gang Jihad in Melbourne is so far beneath contempt it is hard to know how to respond. It does give a good indication of the standard of the media in Australia in regards to truth in reporting  2 Billion a year in exports isn't to be sneezed at: http://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2017-07-19/wine-exports-increase-australia-reputation-grows/8724818 Which raises the question: If there is this sort of money to be made overseas why would a sane farmer dig up their vines? Turns out that the domestic market is ~ 3 Billion (source -https://www.wineaustralia.com/getmedia/338d5fa2-6867-4a98-b8b2-df879f49588a/PSI-Report_2016). Focus on the export market maybe?

An upper middle class third-generation Melbournite who relishes in the idea of his home city being recognised as the progressive hub of Australia – especially when compared to the regional hillbilly centres up North – says he’s a lot of things, but he is not a racist. Colin Ingwood is a lapsed pescatarian, he’s a lactose sensitive Capricorn, he’s a diehard Aussie rules fan, he’s got a member of the Albert Park golf course and he loves Courtney Barnett – so it’s not hard to see why he gets confused when people assume he boos at footballers because of their race. “It’s got nothing to do with race. Adam Goodes used to milk free kicks” “And he was a flog” As described by the Oxford Dictionary, the word ‘Flog’ is a multi-purpose expression, predominantly of Victorian origin. In this circumstance, Colin has opted to use the word as a noun, in keeping with the Victorian usage to thinly-veil a racial hatred towards a prominent sportsman or other public figure. However, football politics aside, Colin also disagrees that he his disdain for seeing groups of African teenagers loitering in the streets near his once working-class inner-city suburb should be interpreted as racist. “You don’t live here so you don’t understand” he says to anyone who questions his eagerness to see war-weary and at-risk Sudanese teenagers deported back to the countries their parents fled from. “My neighbourhood Facebook group and I have worked very hard for this to become a family-friendly area – and it seems the moment we got rid of the remaining bikie pubs and injecting rooms – a wave of kids who like playing rap music off their iPhone speakers moved in” “I’m not racist, I just think this is a bit out of control. Have you read the news? This is a CRISIS”

UBEREATS is the new smashed avocado for whingeing millennials. This “snowflake” generation, which blames everybody but themselves for their inability to buy a house, thinks nothing of ordering two pricey takeaway meals a day delivered to their home or work. Thanks to their UberEATS addiction, Australians aged in their 20s and 30s are rapidly becoming fat, poor and awkward. How did taking a humble (and cost-effective) sandwich to work become so unfashionable? At 3AW, hardly a day goes by without several younger employees ordering lunch on their phones via the UberEATS app. Typically, they spend $25 (plus a $5 delivery fee) to have a driver collect tacos/pizza/noodles/pho/burgers and deliver them to our office. This process is often repeated in the evenings after the same young workers arrive at home “too tired to cook”. Two such takeaway meals a day, five days a week, amount to an annual expenditure of $14,400 (not including weekends or holidays). This is a lot of money down the drain for convenience — better described as laziness. Before UberEATS, young people either cooked for themselves — a dying skill now — or at least got off their bums and walked to the local takeaway. Millennials, however, think differently. Why perform a task yourself when you can pay someone else to do it for you? The same young workers who devour hand-delivered takeaway meals each day also love to complain. They bemoan the high cost of living; that their wages rarely cover essential expenditures like petrol, rent, utilities and the ubiquitous mobile phone bills. An obvious solution for millennials’ perceived financial woes exists: Ditch UberEATS and bring a homemade sandwich to work, instead. And on Sunday evenings, ahead of the busy working week, cook up some bolognese sauce which, when teamed with easily heated spaghetti, provides a series of tasty, filling and cheap dinners. Very little culinary genius is required to produce such simple meals. Yet when I suggested these ideas to my younger co-workers, their protests were immediate and loud. “But I’m a foodie!” cried one. “My tastebuds require daily and varied stimulation.” “UberEATS is so convenient,” opined another. “And the food is really good for you!” What utter nonsense. I’m so over this “foodie” culture. Too many think that because they eat breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, they’re gourmets whose opinions on dining require sharing on social media. Yet nothing is more pathetic than young folk who photograph their meals rather than just eat them. As to the Uber delivery service’s supposed health benefits, give me a break. The same co-worker who claimed takeaway meals were wholesome was later observed ordering a quarter-pounder with cheese, large fries and a thickshake from McDonald’s. Soon after, this “creative” lunch appeared at her desk courtesy of — you guessed it — UberEATS. No nutritional value whatsoever. And not even any exercise undertaken to collect the food in question. And thanks to its focus on junk food — and elimination of effort — UberEATS is making millennials overweight. One or two high-kilojoule, fat-laden meals a day do terrible things to the waistline. According to the Australian Medical Association, today’s 20-somethings might be the first generation in history to suffer reduced life expectancy, relative to their parents. Hand-delivered fast food is a substantial cause of this problem. UberEATS’ addictive convenience also drains wallets. Instead of paying cash at their local sandwich shop, the cost of every delivered meal is plonked on the fuss-free credit card. All gain and no financial pain now; but at $30-plus a pop, the UberEATS chickens come home to roost at month’s end when the bank statement arrives. And because it reduces the need to step outside one’s front door, UberEATS also makes millennials socially awkward. This is a generation whose members meet each other online (think dating app Tinder), prefer to converse via instant messaging rather than actual talking, and spend more time posting their experiences on Facebook and Instagram than actually living them. Genuine face-to-face interaction this is not. Cooking and eating meals used to be regarded as a social event. UberEATS is killing that. One young person I know has takeaway coffee delivered to her home at weekends. She is also very shy. My advice? Abandon the UberEATS app. And walk to your local cafe for a coffee — and a chat — with the friendly barista.

Millennials are responsible for failing business which somehow haven't adapted to the modern age. (because they know what the internet and global commerce is) Millennials aren't hard workers (what do you mean you won't do backbreaking seasonal casual labor for the same wages I paid out in the 1970s? It was good then and it should be good enough for you too!) Millennials fresh out of uni don't have the 10 years of industry experience required for entry level positions because we no longer train staff or have career advancement plans. Millennials have no loyalty to the organisation which will happily run them into the ground and treat them like cheap disposable furniture. Millennials
