Any fruit could also be used to make booze.
Ban fruit.

Pruno, that’s it. And, like you, ain’t no way I want any. I’ve made hooch with Fleischmann’s and good grape juice, and it’s funky-tasting enough, even after siphoning and refrigeration. But it’s quick and dirty!

Folks will always find a way. In New Mexico, some of the reservations have restricted the sale of hairspray because it is used to make a drink called “Ocean” that is high in alcohol.

You can spread it on toast, but it tastes like . . .

This seems to be one of those agenda 21 things, doesn’t it?
Or a stupid bureaucrat.

When did Oz turn into such a nanny state?
To: nickcarraway
But Indigenous Affairs Minister Nigel Scullion, said its sale should be restricted in remote communities where alcohol is banned. Just like every other drug problem these people take a prohibitive approach to the problem which is destined from the outset to failure.
As can be seen from the Vegemite issue people are creative by nature and will find a way to satisfy their desires.
One of reasons that alcohol is a problem in these communities is that the people living there largely unemployed and on public assistance. They have huge amounts of unproductive time to fill and alcohol is one way to numb an under used mind.
Cut their public assistance payments to the bare minimum and their underutilized minds will find more productive things to do that drink themselves in to a stupor.

Heh, I did that once myself, back in high school. Not exactly vintage port, but it did the trick!

I used to always think that Men At Work lyric was "He just smiled and I gave him a bit of my sandwich."
What does this Vegemite taste like anyhow?
To: naturalman1975
“And, yes, such a ban can also be applied to baking yeast, if that is an issue.”
Could they ban water, sugar, and grains too? Because all are also used to make alcohol.

Its a yeast extract, right? Yep, I believe so. Looks remarkably like wheel bearing grease, though.
