News Corp claims fish & chip shop charging for sauce packets is a ‘death tax’

News Corp has slammed the allegedly ‘radical’ Labor government after one reporter was made to pay 50 cents for sauce at their local fish and chip shop.

News Corp outlets have denied taking part in a coordinated scare campaign, however they have all dedicated their front pages to the scary new ‘death tax’ and how Labor refused to step in to stop it.

“This is money that could be passed down to my children when I die,” said the shaken reporter and fifty other News Corp reporters simultaneously.

“But now the amount of money I have for my investment portfolio is slightly less then it could have been, making it a death tax. Shame on this government.”

“This is what Karl Marx wrote about. First they charge us for tomato sauce packets, then soon they’ll start charging extra for chicken salt and before long they’re forcing us to leave a tip for the Communist Party dictators.”

“It’s all there in Marx’s book 1984.”

Other outlets have decided all future references to sauce will be framed with ‘the fish and chip shop claims there isn’t a death tax’.

“It’s far better journalism then saying whether something is or isn’t something it objectively isn’t.”
