@BryanGreyson @Saupreiss which IMHO makes sense.

• Personally, I think #deposit should be mandatory per material, not contents of the container anyway.

But then again #Lobbyism is the reason #SweetPotatoes ahave 19% VAT but #Potatoes only 7%...

@BryanGreyson @Saupreiss really?

Cuz I don't see #deposit on #TetraPak and tue only #lobbyism I saw was from corporations like #innocent that made deposit for #FruitJuice and -Nectar in #PET bottles mandatory.

• But Cartons never had deposit on them.

Day 16 cont

REPORTER “Mr Dutton, you’ve brought your son Harry out here, he talked about how hard it is to save for a #deposit … Why won’t you support him a bit and give him a bit of help with buying a #house?

DUTTON “I haven’t finished the excellent points I was making. The next point, as to why people should vote Liberal, is we can manage the #economy well …”

@aral @davidsabine also even * if* we demand #profitability there are like dozens of #RealEstate #cooperatives that were spun off for #PublicHousing holdings (instead of selling off said #housing units to big corporations for less than a years' rent each) in #Germany that do maintain and build #AffordableHousing and provide basically #TennantOwned (#deposit = shares in the cooperative) housing...

At least two of them are the reason rent in my hometown didn't skyrocket!
