Alcopops tax drives teens to spirits, industry group saysSpeaking on ABC Local Radio in Brisbane this morning, schoolgirl Larissa had a question for Prime Minister Kevin Rudd about his Government's tax hike on alcopops.
"Many teenagers have resorted to purchasing strong spirits that are cheaper. How do you feel about this and what else do you plan to do to help solve the problem?" she said.
Mr Rudd said there was no single solution.
"This is a really tough one because the Australian police commissioners just the other day came out and said that this is right across Australia, effectively the country is awash with alcohol," Mr Rudd said.
