QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator DUNIAM (Tasmania—Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate) (14:04): Premier Minns also says that, while demand for illegal tobacco remains so strong because of current tax settings, it is 'very difficult' for police to permanently shut down organised crime gangs. Why is the Prime Minister refusing to act on this advice from even a Labor premier who says that this Commonwealth government's tax policy is making the job of police so much harder?
