"The idea is to help push for higher prices" Of course this is the only reason.

I am sorry to note that one of the objectives of this scheme is reported to be "to help push for higher prices"

That should have been written as "to push for fair prices which offer value for money"

​I will not be frequenting any business displayed this "we can print money" Logo .

Sunshine, beaches, 5* hotels at 2* rates, knock off goods, cheep booze, sex and sightseeing are why tourist flock here.

Higher prices are not on the list gov.

The magic hat has been consulted again.
