I'd like to be able ot comment on the policy - but there isnt one. Seems the idea will go out to consultation after the election.

So after a quick scan I may be able to support a tax on bottled water for export. Except tax is already being raised from the GSt and PAYE generated by the businesses bottling the water.

As for farmers, they may as well look at a tax on sunshine as well.

That said I wouldnt mind a bit of a tax going on the water going into Coke
