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?

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.
