Anger as federal food guide is pulled from web
The fascist hands of the Abbott Government again in Action.
"The federal government has been accused of bowing to the junk food
industry after a new food rating system website was pulled down,
allegedly at the behest of a senior minister.
The long-awaited ''health star rating'' website, for food
manufacturers to label their products with easy-to-understand
nutritional information, was launched about midday on Wednesday, only to
be pulled by 8pm that night.
Fairfax Media has been given evidence that Assistant Health
Minister Fiona Nash, and her chief of staff, Alastair Furnival,
personally intervened to have the site pulled down - despite it being
approved through a Council of Australian Governments ministerial
council."
