They really are bereft of ideas, aren't they.

    It won't make them cheaper. The legit darts would be priced above the current cost of bootleg durries. The price would be low enough to not be worth pedaling dodgy fags.

    End result: higher price.

    My point was just that the noalition are now stealing one nation 'policy'

    Australians really need to think about what that says about us... a country where something like smoking can be used as political enticement in 2026

    How would this hurt them at all? They will just do other things instead

    What would hurt them is if enforcement increased

    They’re reacting to Hanson.

    Someone in this household just got on the federal program. It’s pretty cheap.

    The e-cigarettes and pods last a long time. I have to raise the question why these (and the standards they manufacture under) weren’t just moved to tobacconists etc as replacement for disposable vapes and kept the doctors and pharmacists out if it entirely.

    It’s that middle ground, that meeting in the middle somewhere, that the policy removed and agitated the black market we had. I look at these things, their price and the reaction of the said smoker to them and I really think we missed the boat here. I can’t see that cigarette smoker going back.

    I feel that if done better, we might have had a better outcome. However we might feel personally about the policy, we can see by how Hanson has played it that it’s a weak spot. Of course, Labor can’t manoeuvre can they, because they need to have a caucus chat about what they’ll decide where Hanson will just say shit people want to hear.

    Anyway, I can certainly recommend the product of the government program.
