State-owned WA gas retailer, Synergy Energy, overcharged for 15 years…and it was a mistake.
Think that conduct is the definition of a serial offender.

Naturalist Charles Darwin first spied a platypus in the Cox's River, leading him to question the idea of a single creator.

Locals say the shy creatures have disappeared from the area, where "unnaturally high" salinity levels are being recorded.

Platypus vanish from river where Charles Darwin pondered evolution

Almost 190 years on, in the place where Charles Darwin first spotted a platypus, the egg-laying mammal seems to have disappeared.

We will never forget the genocide in Gaza.

Two things can hold true at once.

The atrocity is seemingly over. But this war will go on and on and on. There can be no peace without justice.

Of two wars Trump claimed he'd end in a day...
A deal was made to stop the more powerful country ( Israel ) stop killing the almost weapon less, starving country ( Palestine)

While the media forgets all about Russian incursion into Ukraine.

It doesn't equate to tobacco tax..
Otherwise a one dollar bet would cost the gambler three dollars.

I agree
I bought a small pouch of tobacco this morning
The price is 2 x what it is in QLD
They say for when we use the hospitals?
They don't have the right to discriminate against one unhealthy product
sugar is as bad if not worse

the insane taxes rise the price compared to the rest of the world

Probably not. They've spent so much money on armaments but have achieved their objective.
An Israeli oversight in Gaza & the West Bank.

Someone has estimated that 82% of tobacco sales go to black market suppliers.
* Good for Them!
Those BS reasons for such high taxes doesn't stand scrutiny.
Otherwise why not supertax high caffeine sugary drinks, alcohol, fast cars, snack foods, skateboards, gambling...
& on a personal note..LADDERS!

I've not eaten it at b'fast since I was a kid.
Midnight? Sure!
But in the morning? Are you for real?
* It may be due to B'fast cereal mostly being owned by religious orgs.
