Petition request
That the House of Representatives urge the Government to increase tax on all types of alcohol.
Petition reason
Alcohol is literally a poison that is allowed to be consumed recreationally. I believe we need to make it harder to get. I consider that failure to act will result in people drinking and killing others and slowly killing themselves with alcohol-related diseases. I implore the Government to make alcohol so expensive to buy that people have no choice but to say no. I believe this would force people to prioritise food and other essential items and would save lives.
