Tobacco—Illegal supply
572. ������ Mr
Adam Hort to the Minister for Health:
I have a
supplementary question. Can the minister confirm that she can increase
resources now without waiting for legislative change, which seems to be taking
this government longer to do than any other mainland state in Australia?

We did increase the staffing
in the compliance union. It is important to work collaboratively with our colleagues,
particularly in the Western Australia Police Force. That is what we do. When
there are concerns about other criminal activity, it needs to be undertaken as
a joint activity, and that is what we do.
