Critics have said the addition of an Afterpay option will increase alcohol availability to the most vulnerable. I get you all love booze and for the vast majority of us, it’s not a problem right? There are some functioning alcoholics in our community who only function because they run out of money to buy booze each week. If the booze industry thinks allowing stressed out people to buy booze on tick is acceptable, you than appreciate the dire need for Chloe’s Bill against them. In short, the Booze Barons should have the full Jackboot of the State on their throats 24/7!
