Australia loves soft drink, but with growing concerns around our health, doctors are calling for a sugar tax. 

But what exactly is a sugar tax? Would it impact all food items that contain sugar, or just soft drinks? And does it actually work to motivate people into choosing healthier options when perusing the supermarket aisles. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we explore the concept of a Sugar Tax in Australia and find out where that money goes once it's in the governments hands.
