Sugar Tax

The Greens party have called for a 20 per cent sugar tax on soft drinks, in a bid to reduce obesity. The proposal, which has already been introduced in European countries such as France and the United Kingdom, has been welcomed by health experts.

Both major parties have already said they have no plans to pursue a sugar tax.
