‘TAX FREE’ BEERS PITCH FOR BUNDABERG CAMPAIGN

Bundaberg residents will be invited to imagine a world without alcohol tax on Friday night at
an unorthodox political launch.

Club Hotel will host supporters from 5pm with the price of beer adjusted to reflect cost
savings that would flow from elimination of the alcohol excise, a 26c per litre cut in fuel excise
and a 20% cut in power bills.

Senator Roberts said ‘There’s no better place to talk about Australia’s highest in the world
alcohol taxes than the home of Bundaberg Rum.

‘Australians shouldn’t have to take out a second mortgage to take the family out for dinner
and enjoy a schooner.

‘Brewers, the hospitality industry and small businesses are struggling as people close their
wallets to get through tough times.

‘Goods are costing more thanks to the tariffs the Australian government is placing on our own
economy with taxes and red-tape compliance.

‘One Nation’s plan for comprehensive tax reform to attack the core input costs to small
business and the entire economy – power and transport – will put more money back in
Australians’ pockets.’
