Bless you FD. You actually made me smile.
On a sad day, when I just watched Margaret Thatcher and Phillip Ruddock* at a press conference, where they bravely announced they were saving Australia from the yellow peril.
*(I know they were cunningly disguised as Julia Gillard and Chris Bowen, but they didn’t fool me for a minute.)

Hope you ran this by legal FD.
Perhaps the Fed Govt can do a Little Johnny and overwrite the law like he did with Euthanasia.
Come on Feds, our reputation as world class rednecks and kowtowers to big business is on the line.

Firsty, you are a champion recycler yourself: the characters in each frame have been carefully and lovingly recycled – for the good of mankind.
But why is Coca-Cola Amatil suing the NT Govt? South Australia has had a bottle/can deposit of 5 cents since the 1970s, they increased it to 10 cents in 2008. Why is Coca-Cola Amatil discriminating but NT? The NT Govt should sue Coca-Cola Amatil.
Footnote: fizzy cola is wonderful for cleaning metal jewellery or objects. Just soak stuff in it for a couple hours (must be the DIET version of the drink, not the standard fizz).

Thank Dog for all these freedom fighters. Their tireless efforts (or was that tyre-less FWDs) are the only things that stand between us and foregoing a decent lie-in or sunning ourselves on the beach just to keep our activism active.
On the other hand, every Territorian can now buy a slab, drink the lot, take the cans back and almost buy another can. How good’s that ! Perpetual beer ! And the South Australians will be able to convoy their 5c cans north for a bit or arbitrage.
Speaking of South Australians, Hey ‘Shoe ! How good was that Stosur girl !
