QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator SCARR (Queensland—Deputy Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate) (17:28): Criminal activity has exploded on your government's watch, with people living in fear and small businesses having to close their doors after robberies and firebombings. Given that you cannot assure Australians that this taskforce will ensure their safety or stop the importation of illegal tobacco into Australia, how many firebombings, robberies and killings will now take place, and how many tonnes of illicit tobacco will now enter the country in the next six months?

Do you have an estimation?
