I think the Premier
has been clear on this point. One of the issues we have confronted, of course,
is the development over time and what we have been able to observe in other
jurisdictions in terms of bringing in powers that will be beneficial in cracking
down on the trade. Ideally, we have been able to learn from those examples in
other jurisdictions. We have been able to take on board those things in other
jurisdictions that have worked. We are now bringing those into this Parliament,
so not just fines, closure orders and other mechanisms. We have been able to
bring into this Parliament a bill that increases fines. It expands the
definitions, which has been one of the challenges, and it provides closure
orders. We have seen what has worked and what has not worked in other
jurisdictions and we have been able to apply those learnings to our bill. We
are very keen to introduce this legislation, and we will be looking forward to
your support to do that.
