Are elevated levels of domestic abuse an acceptable trade-off for allowing alcohol companies to use the cover of the pandemic to cynically undermine Australia’s most effective tool for alcohol harm prevention? My letter to the editor of The Age today. #endfamilyviolence

Kellogg claimed that including their cereals among “less healthy” foods was unfair because it did not take into account the milk that was usually added them. Are they for real?
