‘UnAustralian’: Shock at Vegemite plan

Scott Morrison told reporters in Melbourne this morning he had Vegemite on his toast “every single morning” despite the fact “Jenny can’t stand me eating it”.It’s no surprise Mr Morrison didn’t take kindly to a question from a reporter about a Labor proposal that could alter the recipe of Australia’s favourite spread drastically.

The possibility of changing the recipe for Vegemite was first raised yesterday at the National Press Club in Canberra when Nine News asked Opposition health spokeswoman Catherine King about Labor’s plan to tackle obesity. “We’ll have a look at mandating. At this stage, it’s not necessarily something we’d do straight away, but we want to work with the industry on that.”

“Bill Shorten thinks your money is better off in his hands to be spent on the things that he thinks are important, not what you think are important. Opposition health spokeswoman Catherine King suggested Labor could force companies to alter the ingredients of Australia’s favourite foods.

ScottMorrisonMP Owned by American company anyway

ScottMorrisonMP Do we live in China,Russia,Cuba If I want to eat 1 tonne of salt,sugar & fat every day I will. It is my right. auspol AusVotes19

Ausshot3Dave ScottMorrisonMP How un Australian can u get? Vegemite could be our National emblem it is that iconic but if Bill gets in he couldn’t give a shit💩 it’s his way or the highway! He will probably say it has a poor carbon footprint ...

ScottMorrisonMP Morrison please stop it your Totally Nuts

ScottMorrisonMP First Labor wanted to control the climate, now Vegemite. What next?

ScottMorrisonMP That's up there with the 'they are taking our utes' scare campaign. SloMo has hit the panic button big time.

ScottMorrisonMP Don't have a problem with it.

ScottMorrisonMP Ex Australian company...

ScottMorrisonMP Crisis meetings underway at Kraft to figure out how to minimise the fall out from ScoMo's endorsement.

ScottMorrisonMP There are no plans to change vegemite. Grow up and do some real journalism.

ScottMorrisonMP I thought many products had ready used less salt. Morrison carrying on like a turkey.

ScottMorrisonMP Because this is so much more important than you know climate change and all 🙄

ScottMorrisonMP If Labor do alter the recipe then it is socialism at it finest. Or bis it a jurno trying to be a scaremongering idiot on Labor's behalf?

ScottMorrisonMP No he fuckin doesn’t.

ScottMorrisonMP It's proof the left want to totally control and dominate our lives. 58.30

ScottMorrisonMP Amanda Palmer - Vegemite (The Black Death) via YouTube

ScottMorrisonMP That is so nice of AustralianLabor to legislate away more of our freedoms and limit my choices and the things I like because some have no self control over what they eat and are too lazy to exercise. 🤦‍♂️

ScottMorrisonMP Good. If the salt content in Vegemite is reduced I might start eating it again. As it is the salt content is over the top. Heart attack material.

ScottMorrisonMP What utter Garbage - vegemite already has a low salt version on the shelves - which tastes EXACTLY - the same - auspol

ScottMorrisonMP Hello BetootaAdvocate . stole one of your stories before it went to print...

ScottMorrisonMP Just leaving this here.

ScottMorrisonMP I’ve heard Labor will stop me eating vegemite in my ute on weekends

ScottMorrisonMP This has got to be the stupidest statement yet from Morrison (and that's saying something!) Even more stupid is Newscorp picking it up ....

ScottMorrisonMP 🤦 free market BS

ScottMorrisonMP oh dear! First world problems Scott? I cannot eat gluten and love Vegemite, that means I cannot eat it. All recipes get altered, you may not even know it's different unless they tell you. Time to worry about the country & not breakfast auspol

ScottMorrisonMP Can you show us this specific plan please? If you aren't contradicting the PM's statement, you are accepting it right?

ScottMorrisonMP By the way Bega already have a salt reduced version... Morrison being stupid as usual 🙄🙄

ScottMorrisonMP What the hell is wrong with you billshortenmp, you can't use the government to exercise power over a company to change the recipe of a food, it's salt, not meth!

ScottMorrisonMP shorten couldn't tell you how much salt is in vegemite because he doesn't know how to workout figures,or it's not important to the people,just do as I say!

ScottMorrisonMP Another “thought bubble” from shifty Bill

ScottMorrisonMP With stupid policies like changing Vegemite, Labor has dug itself a political grave. No one is impressed, Bill. Hands off.

ScottMorrisonMP Oh for goodness sake, how about focusing on something important & relevant - like each sides policies. Talk about a puerile piece of journalism.

ScottMorrisonMP It's the high salt content you silly bugger, that's what he is trying to change.

ScottMorrisonMP Are you serious stupid story and you know it. Do a story which says: PM’s huge consumption of salty foods risks heart disease and stroke.

ScottMorrisonMP Good grief! Vegemite has not been a Kraft product since it was bought by Bega in 2017. Maybe update your clip art library

ScottMorrisonMP The PM has Vegemite on some 'changed bread/toast with some 'changed' water.

ScottMorrisonMP Does Moronison have any policies of his own? Or is his whole campaign all about looking at what Labor will do?

Labor plans $4 billion childcare overhaulAlmost one million working families would have their childcare costs cut by $1200 a year under sweeping changes proposed by the Labor Party More money at another unionized workforce (health, TAFE etc) will just be captured as rent by insiders. Needs a reduction in regulations, staff qualification bloat & better information to parents to let market forces play out More Labor debt! 🤯🤯 Mmm... The proposed $1200 increase a year for almost 1 million Australian working families - is questionable? Why did Labor roll over and endorse in the legislation for the Federal Government's overhaul of the childcare system has passed the Senate?
