Great article by @myriamrobin exposing the Pharmacy Guild's tactics in arguing against extended prescribing. If pharmacies are only sustainable because consumers are forced to make unnecessary trips to get their meds it's time to change the funding model. afr.com/rear-window/ph…

Why are we paying so much in Australia for alcohol-free drinks that aren’t taxed? | Cameron Shackell for the Conversation
Traditional alcohol producers have helped make high prices seem acceptable by using a marketing tactic called ‘price anchoring’

Josephine Tovey@Jo_Tovey
This is a good piece on the ridiculous price of non alcoholic gin and beer.
"Industry players don’t pay that tax on non-alcoholic drinks. So, in a sense, they are pocketing a hefty bonus that well-anchored customers forget is not being passed on"

Australian employers are using non-complete clauses as a scare tactic to stop workers seeking employment elsewhere.
