    I presume they’re going to do this again and again knocking off a new category each time, and if so, I’d rather they spare us the slow march by just banning it all at once.

      Yes the boiling frog approach. Now basically going to do it one at a time so they don’t get too much pushback.

        Governments can usually get away with whatever they wabt and the british government is the best example of this. I’d literally write a letter in and tell them they can get away with banning it all in one go if i thought they’d follow through on it.

        But maybe there’s another reason they do it in little chunks; one distraction headline becomes about 14 distracrion headlines, so lavour gov is safe to have 14 seperste scandals over the course of the next year or so
