The quote below seems a strange argument against a sugar tax. The whole point of it is to discourage the buying of high-sugar drinks, so in that case people wouldn't be paying more anyway.

"Shadow Health Minister Anne Ruston has said the Coalition also doesn’t support a sugar tax, saying there were better ways to encourage healthy eating and preventive health, without hurting the hip pockets of families."

I take issue with this belief that obesity is purely a dietary thing. [Ruston should just toddle off and harass poor people (her fave occupation, if memory serves me right).]
You’re overestimating her intelligence.
