Based on wastewater testing, @ABSStats estimates the share of tobacco consumption from illicit sources in Australia has risen from 12% in 2017 to a staggering 80% in 2025.
Despite repeated tobacco excise hikes, the quantity of nicotine consumed per person has increased by 22%.

Let's have a look at what the SMC's experts had to say.

I am sceptical but really hope it works out.

$121 MILLION in community assets. Only $1.5M given back yearly. We can do better.

We want to grow community funding and we'll do it in two steps.

JT is standing for the same ward as me for the licensing trust.

Also Chris Carter, another MP of the 1990's vintage.

The joys of democracy.
