No, Trump has the right idea. I pay $30 for a 50g pouch of tobacco at my friendly convenience store (no forced self service too which I like 😀) which may or may not be illegal. I walk next door to Coles and pay $110 for 30g! Guess what a premium brand of tobacco costs in America for 50g? About $30 😂😂 I don’t think Trump needs or wants to tax the tobacco industry.

Some have no idea about the scanning of containers. Oneonesit is clearly at the head ofthat Motley Crue.

That can only be done if we can stop all illegal supply.

If you thought Chris Corrigan went off the reservation in the waterfront debacle Howard and Reith oversaw, imagine what the providores today would have to say about your solution. Australian ports would come to a standstill. I still can’t work out why you are so fixated on tobacco and not the harder drugs, which by the way also come into the country just as easily. And via the same process.

And I’ll say it again Oneone.
If virtually every country in the world can’t stop hard, illegal drugs like cocaine, heroin, amphetamine…what hope does Australia have of stopping tobacco. Would you rather focus on eliminating illegal tobacco or the harder drugs drugs I mentioned? “Both” is not a doable answer.

Because he doesn't care about the health of the American people. Look at who he appointed Secretary of Health

Funny though talking about drugs.
A few times I’ve flirted with weed. Most recently about 15 years ago at a mate’s 50th. I couldn’t see or feel anything that made me seek it out after that. I’d never touch heroin, amphetamine or fentanyl. Cocaine though intrigues me. Hard to overdose, no hallucinations and most users seem to live functional lives. I think I’d like to try it once 😂

If people didn't smoke or do drugs the problem wouldn't exist.

Comparing Tobacco shipments to hard drugs is like comparing chalk to cheese. Tobacco shipments typically make up 80 to 90% of the load in the container.....& its bloody obvious when you see it Hard drugs are much less in volume & usually concealed within all types of legal goods. The fact is overnight it is estimated criminal organisations are making more from Cigarettes than the entire other illicit drugs combined.....& you seem ok with that. Are you also ok with the increase in daily crime in the form of shootings, beatings, fire bombings & car torching that comes with it on an ever increasing basis. Because while ever you allow that sort of loot to be made by no good scumbags you will never get rid of it.

JJ? I’ve been a problem my whole life.
You either come on board and enjoy the trip or live a boring life in the suburbs. And I’m definitely not referencing you.

I certainly hope not. My life has never been boring...and I never needed cigarettes or booze to have fun. I have never understood the mentality of smoking or getting sloshed. Why do you smoke? You know it is harmful to your health...so why do it? ![]() |

Sometimes even governments I feel “beneficial” toward do stupid things. Though to be clear for HG only, I haven’t voted Labor in 30 years. Or more. Sin taxes have been around since day dot. Labor’s tobacco excise, increasing uplifted was stupid, stupid policy. If you want to save the human race, jump into Gaza, Ukraine, The Sudan, Iran and many others. If I want to live a hedonistic lifestyle that doesn’t impact on anyone else’s quality of life? Fu€k off and leave me alone.”

If i couldn't work with someone to open a container (2 minutes), remove cover goods via fork, trolley, by hand.....& evaluate fair enough into the container if it was stacked with fags in less than 3 or 4 hours then i would be a monkey's uncle....& i'd ask that my family was left out of it
I regularly unload 40 foot containers.....you just need access to good equipment....its really not that difficult. Unless you want to make out it is !

I once asked my half-sister why she smoked. "I can't give it up," she replied. (how stupid is that answer)
At age 83 she was forced to stop smoking to have an operation. Now she doesn't have to complain about always being out of pocket because she 'couldn't give it up'. The waste of money always gob-smacks me. Why spend your hard-earned on something which can destroy your health? |
