Presentation
Capturing this change in culture moment: it’s time to swing big
You only need to read the comments on socials to see that Australian’s know our alcohol tax regime needs fixing. Seriously – a 40+ year old tax that’s never been debated, no scrutiny applied, no reviews undertaken - but no problem with 79 increases!
Voters and consumers are tired of the status quo, of politics being done behind closed doors and of not feeling heard. Now more than ever, we folks who disagree with each other should get together at their local for a beer or whisky and a chat (Australian owned of course).
This is a conversation about how our ‘brains trust’ can help shape our movement between now and the 2028 election and beyond. Come along and help define our collective future!
