Oh and off off topic
I came across this old blog from 1997- showing how much was being spent on anti tobacco advertisement (Big ANTZ anyone?) oh P&G is short for proctor and gamble - they are pretty huge investment wise
TOBACCO TALKS COULD BRING $1 BILLION MEDIA WINDFALL: ANTI-SMOKING BUDGET WOULD RIVAL WHAT P&G SPENDS ON TV
http://adage.com/article/news/tobacco-talks-bring-1-billion-media-windfall-anti-smoking-budget-rival-p-g-spends-tv/71791/
a couple of update articles on the matter of how much ANTZ Is worth - Interestingly - its pretty difficult to get proper and outright information on how much any country is spending on anti tobacco advertising and programs- or how this properly stacks up against taxes on cigarettes or potential profit that could be made from vaping and snus wich they are trying so hard to stifle - I would love to see a proper comparison -
I also find it interesting that to find the answer to such a basic question as how much is spent on anti tobacco - you have to really dig to find the answers

Yes this is being pushed by Phillip Morris International. I saw an article from the UK on this forum earlier in the week.

No Holden's made in Australia is devastating enough but not being able to can our own pineapples is just to much.

As far as the pineapple situation... Golden circle is no longer Australian owned, there's your problem.
Golden Circle (the co-op) would have taken all the pineapples, juiced and canned them. Australian families would have cheap pineapple products for years, and the farmers would have a chance to diversify.
Same as been done with Edgel, Arnotts and other brands that get sold, they always make a complete mess of it.
