The Australian Federal Government, are certainly doing their best to twist the knife into the beer, spirits and hospitality industries. Another duty hike to $103.89 Aud, putting it to the world’s third highest, is pushing brewers, distillers and venue owners closer to the brink. Are these six monthly a delusional and dangerous method being undertaken? Certainly, the already pressure and uncertainty in the markets, has led to various craft brewers to cease production and close doors. Already, some distillers have expressed their concern and are already trying to make decisions on investing into the day to day running of the stills, over advertising that could help boost sales. The UK government have seen the economical impact of attempting to cash in, with duty hikes that in my opinion are becoming more painful rather than plentiful for all. Surely, these ineffectual measures are to be reconsidered. https://7news.com.au/news/price-of-beer-spirits-to-increase-as-industry-cops-alcohol-tax-increase--c-15596244.amp https://www.theaustralian.com.au/breaking-news/alcohol-tax-hiked-again-expect-to-pay-more/news-story/5361f6ae4ab0399540617b43e053a20a#
