QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator DUNIAM (Tasmania—Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate) (14:00): My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. This morning, Assistant Treasurer Daniel Mulino was asked on News24 about a reported tobacco related firebombing in his own electorate on the weekend. His response was, 'Look, I don't know about that.' How can Australians have confidence that the Albanese government understands the scale of the illicit tobacco crisis when a senior economic minister apparently does not even know about a tobacco related firebombing in his own community?
