Hey mate, unpredictable and shit weather in Melbourne has forced me to bring my girl inside i got her in the garage which is quite warm and humid i got a extraction fan running above but what else can i do to make it a better environment temporarily of course or will she be ok?
put it back outside once it stops raining. Keep it fed. Personally i just leave them in the rain unless they are late in flower with compact buds.

Yeah but it started off that shit dusty rain leaving Brown silt as leaves dried. And then hail which they say could be more and worse otherwise woulda left it too saves me having to carry her 20 gal geopot almost full to top with coco Perlmix and full wet from rain plus the plant and the 3 worms who would be big boys by now. Almost threw my back out haha

I think an independent regulatory authority to inspect facilities would be a better option. They could take samples at all stages of the operation while making sure conditions are sanitary etc. surprise inspections/testing from someone who effectively doesn’t have any skin in the game.
At the moment the authorities that license and regulate can do random facility inspections, at the cost of the facilities of corse, and they charge them a motsa for doing it too. Think they’re mainly checking GMP and SOP’s are being followed, not sure if they do any product testing though.

I think we could incorporate a authority into the licensing system that covers everything. So they get a percentage of licensing fees and in return they undertake testing of grow, packaging, sales etc facilities making sure they’re all sanitary and not using banned chemicals etc ie not some cunts mouldy shed getting hammered with pgrs

don’t want to see what happening in the us which is essentially buy your test report with people being able to “shop” for the best results.

until that spirit gets turned into a pre mix. Also
Beer guys only get taxed real hard on kegs yeah? and boutique brewers get various tax exemptions from The federal government
Not sure how it works but a family friend has a share in Morrison's Brewery (Its a Family run business) and they pay allot more tax than his friends doing distilling. I think less tax on kegs over units like stubbies. In the State we are seeing a move away from boutique beer over to Alcohol and part of that is less tax.
Any business gets deductions and exceptions depending on what u do and the amount of $ concerned.

when it stops hailing and the wind dies down throw her back out. If it doesn’t rain again hit it with the hose to wash the silt off.

maybe due to various grant etc in that instance may be true but overall it’s taxed
Based on alcohol content with a few exemptions like Australian wine.


this also doesn’t account for taxes like the alchopop tax on pre mixed spirits which is technically imposed on the retailer

it gets really complicated. Theres a refund scheme as well.
I think allot changed with the reduction in the excise scheme as well under sco mo.
"The concessional draught beer excise rate will also be extended to include smaller kegs. Prior to these changes, draught beer sold in kegs greater than 48 litres had been taxed at a lower rate. "
