The Queensland government has announced plans to ban the sale, display, and cultivation of watermelons, linking their colors to recently outlawed political phrases. This legislative move has sparked significant concern in the agricultural and hospitality sectors, with farmers and supermarkets scrambling to adjust. Cafes have begun rebranding menu items to avoid mentions of watermelon, while home gardeners face potential classification as political protesters for growing the fruit. There are discussions about a possible exemption, allowing watermelons if served in a way that obscures their colors. The absurdity of policing fruit reflects a broader critique of political consistency.
