New Zealand had a wonderful scheme to stop young people taking up smoking. Of course their new government ditched it. There's no reason for Australia not to implement the same kind of policy ... except that our gov is owned by its sponsors.

Indeed. The same "small government" and "no nanny state" people need to put their money where their mouth is.
If adults want to start smoking, let them.
The problem is that people start as children.
Prohibitively expensive tax will increase this risk, as you say, due to the growing black market.

Yes and when they reshape the tax base they need to lower the taxes on tobacco. They’ve gone too far and spawned a massive illegal trade.

To the contrary, we should develop a society where people are respected, have the social services they need, have an affordable roof over their head, access to free education at all levels and universally free healthcare. If they don't, we all suffer the consequences.

People buying”illegal tobacco” do so bc they’re addicted to something legal…even though all the rich people can drink their Chivas Regal or actual Champagne or get coked up all weekend or whatever.
Seriously, stop penalising poor people whilst letting rich people get away with whatever they want.

*Last Christmas*, my dear sister gave me this…obviously I love exactly half of it. Some days I come out and it’s been turned around to the half I don’t love by at least one of my children. So I lovingly turn it back and this is the only Christmas decoration anyone needs… 💜

What I know for sure is if registered NDIS providers succeed in getting higher rates for complex care, they won’t pass the profit on to the workers who provide the care or use it to ensure better quality of care for clients
this interview, and the subsequent reporting around it, was absolutely infuriating. any other sector's big business lobby wouldn't get this kind of uncritical, uninformed, wildly inaccurate coverage, yet disabled peoples' essential services do [little 🧵]

So many people defending Australian cricketers no matter what they do reminds me of why I never complained about David Hookes and Greg Ritchie when I had to interview them both and they both made me feel like a dirty hooker…even though I was a journalist doing my job.
