…what…? Like, honestly… what?

Sorry to hear about your gravitas situation, times are tough for many of us 😆

Tourism is weird. I'm Australian and had no idea where the Cadbury factory is in Australia, now I do. Would I take my daughter to the Cadbury factory? Probably not, would I take her to the worlds largest chocolate fountain, where theres also a design your own chocolate bar studio, yeah I would.

I'm probably not going to Tasmania just for that, but if we went down for something else would I extend our trip for a day or two... yeah, I would.

I was so disappointed when they discontinued factory tours because people couldn't keep their fucking hands to themselves when walking past the chocolate machines.

Did they never watch or read Charlie and the Chocolate factory?

Even Charlie got up to no good at one point. Everyone thinks they're the Charlie and won't get in any serious trouble for their antics.

These are the kinds of election promises that gets you elected :)
