"But let’s be clear: community resilience is not an excuse for government failure. Where is the political will to fix the national school nutrition programme? Why are we still missing the chance to use public procurement to support small-scale farmers? Why do we keep talking about the right to food in abstract terms when children are dying?" Yes, Scott!

"VAT applies broadly to goods and services (excluding zero-rated essentials), while the fuel levy targets a narrower tax base, but its economic reach is wide – transport, logistics, manufacturing and food pricing are all exposed – which means that costing goes up across the value and supply chains – and even if it is the case that this increase is more distributed than a VAT hike, its impacts are still disproportional."
