Do you think the liberal government is in bed with the alcohol industry?

Just heard a doctor speak on sky and that is what he thinks?

July 2013

Alcohol and other Drugs Council of Australia is writing to Prime Minister Kevin Rudd urging him to act on alcohol taxation, revisiting the issue that former PM Julia Gillard failed to address during her term.

Unfortunately both major parties accept donations from the liquor industry.In 2011,the NSW branch of the AHA gave over $860.000 in donations,most of it to the libs.

I wish the cigarette industry had of donated more.

DY: "Do you think the liberal government is in bed with the alcohol industry?"

Possibly,  but it would appear the bed has been kept warm by  the Poor Me Gillard and Rudd Circus!

Cheers.

[donnashuggy]

Are they still keeping it warm or are they both out of politics?

What can the libs do to make the streets safer?

SWF: "Unfortunately both major parties accept donations from the liquor industry.In 2011,the NSW branch of the AHA gave over $860.000 in donations,most of it to the libs."

I do occasionally (??) doubt statements made by the concreted Cyclopians, so SWF, a reference to that would be appreciated.

This thread is basically  a daily federal DY      however whatever  is OK.

Australian Electoral Commission August 2012
Australian Hotels Association - Federal Office    $250,000.00 to    Liberal Party of Australia

Nov 2011
THE NSW branch of the Australian Hotels Association gave almost $500,000 to the Coalition before the state election.

I would assert that  as the areas of focus of the AHA are accommodation, food, beverages, entertainment, wagering and gaming wagering and gaming would the main areas of promotion.

Finally SWF:
"The AHA NSW Branch provides considerable financial support to the Australian Labor Party. Between 1998 and 2006, the AHA NSW Branch contributed over A$700,000 to the NSW branch of the ALP."
Hangover material??

I did say both parties accept money from the liquor industry John.
