Can I just read a few news items. Perhaps those on the other side could follow some of this. There were some concerns in November 2009 that a fatal brew would be made. 29 June 2010: yes, a man aged 40 died after drinking an alcoholic drink brewed from vegemite on an island community in the Gulf of Carpentaria. The evidence goes on and on. I do not have time to get through it here. 2 July: an Anglican minister, Reverend John Adams, calls. He said he was so overwhelmed with the brew that children as young as 11 are risking their lives drinking this potent concoction. (Time expired)
