It is our civic leaders duty........to lead by example.........isnt it ??...... or does that rule only apply to football players.

Agree with you totally - Grog price increases are not due to legislation...yet, (
unless of course, you wish to include.....Transportation fuel costs, OH & S implementation, GST, Deregulation of Industry and any other relevant issues that cause additional costs to the customer. )
They are an act of greed - just the same as the rent and daycare price hikes which occur when family assistance increases are suggested or provided by government.
Well....I was in total agreeance until that enlightening post by Ben.
