Pugh MaureenMAUREEN PUGH (National): Thank you very much Madam Speaker. I stand to make a short contribution to the Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products (Smoked Tobacco) Amendment Bill tonight in its second reading.I haven't been a member of the select committee that has looked at this legislation but I think most of us have had some form of experience in our lifetime with smokers. I grew up in a house where both of my parents smoked and I clearly remember the family trips in the car. For those who don't know sometimes it rains a bit on the West Coast and when you go on a drive you've got the windows up and so driving around in the car with two smokers—it still makes my eyes water. I can also remember spending quite a lot of time with my grandparents when I was much younger and they too were very heavy smokers. Sometimes it was almost difficult to see across the room because of the amount of tobacco smoke. So I think that cured me of ever wanting to be a cigarette smoker myself. I've never had one. I did try it once as a teenager but I can't understand how people push through that first inhale. I certainly couldn't.But this legislation impacts on two pieces of legislation. One is the Customs and Excise Act 2018 and the Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Act 1990. As other speakers have pointed out there are three main pillars to the legislation: that is around limiting the number of retailers in any particular area—so that is going from 6000 retailers nationwide down to 600. As my friend and colleague Dr Shane Reti pointed out there was no rationale put forward for where that number came from or what was the information or the science or the advice that informed that decision to reach 600.The next part of this bill looks to control the amount of nicotine within cigarettes and other components of cigarettes. I understand that that will be limiting it to 0.8 of a gram per cigarette. And the third pillar is around preventing young people from taking up smoking by prohibiting the sale of cigarettes to anyone born after 1 January 2009. So if you are 13 years old or younger now you will be unable to purchase or use smoked tobacco products.But I do go back to the contribution that was made by the Green member over there and just the irony of it did amuse me so enthusiastic about this piece of legislation because it reduced the drug harm from tobacco. And I thought the irony that this member who is the same member driven in the legalise cannabis debate—what a double standard that turned out to be. It's OK to be really enthusiastic about banning this drug over here but then we turn over here and let's legalise cannabis on the other side of the debate. That's great—what a great double standard! Fantastic.I want to come back to the point about the number of dairy owners because even as a person that worked in a gas station you know that there's very little money made out of pumping gas and selling gas. But then we have—[Interruption]ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Jenny Salesa): Order! Order! Go ahead.MAUREEN PUGH: So in those retail outlets it's not the fuel that the retailer makes his money from it's all the other incidentals: it's the candy bar and the ice cream and it's the packet of cigarettes. So those dairy owners and those gas stations that have all of those other products that they sell that's how they actually make a living. And then the dairy owners it's the same—people go in there to buy a packet of cigarettes but that's what brings them in. It's the incidentals that they buy as well is where they make their profit. So what we are doing is a sinking-lid policy on the number of retail outlets but also a sinking lid on the revenue that they can earn. So the National Party does not support—ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Jenny Salesa): Order Order. The member's time is up.
