    Australian government pushes for federal sugar tax amid health concerns

    Aany soft drink isn`t that healthy. Also artificial sweeteners, even stevia, which in its natural form as a plant, is not made from the said plant. So all sweeteners are artificial additives, which is probably worse than sugar is. Its okay to have a soft drink occasionally but...

    See what this McDonald's did with a mop that has the internet outraged—Tradies involved!

    So totally agree. Good for a proper coffee when on the road, but their food is 90% additives, (even flies don`t touch it in the heat of summer (Mackay) and it still looked as if it was bought that day) and stopped at Childers, and could smell Mcdonalds from where I parked up by the Peanut van.

    Definitely NO. That child is obviously a Spoilt Brat, and probably is so used to getting his own way that when he Demands something, he gets it. I was going to suggest a sharp smack from mother, but whoops, not allowed these days. Pity.
