It’s not just the young ones either it’s the opposite the older people that don’t have enough money are buying them… who wouldn’t $12 compared to $48 I’ve heard this from numerous older people….

It has not reduced people smoking. There losing a lot of tax on the sale of illegal tobacco. She has know idea. 🫣😂

If the legal cigarettes were $20 a packet for 20 I would go back to smoking them, until then if the police want to sell some cheap I know a few people that would be interested 🤣🤣

So they can't burn cigarettes.....🤦..why store them.

Ever Since Bondi, I have been smoking twice as much.

Are people smoking less or are they just getting them somewhere else 🤔

Didn’t they just come out and say more people are smoking now than 20 years ago.

I think Malcolm smokes the old funny stuff

I bet Big Tobacco over the Minister.

You would know cupcake 🧁

Waffle 101.

POT CALLING KETTLE BLACK LOL 😆

lol plug plug .. no ones quit it’s too cheap now

All they have reduced is the number of people smoking government taxed cigarettes. Lmao

I'm shore this woman is an alien 👽

perhaps they should take a look at dropping the excise on alcohol and tobacco to a reasonable amount.

I’m smoking like 2 stroke now I’m payin 2005 prices. How much they askin for a contain of Manchester’s at the holding yard?

I am a smokers amd have never been asked to participate in a survey

Her brain does not hurt because.........An "automaton" is a self-operating machine or control mechanism designed to automatically follow a predetermined sequence of operations or respond to instructions. Derived from the Greek for "acting of one's own will," the term encompasses historical mechanical figures, modern robotics, and abstract computational models.

Tell them, Dazza has plenty of storage available

Mouth isn't connected to brain.

You are having absolutely no success, ask Elliot Ness.

If we can't tax the tobacco it's illegal. If we can't tax the weed it's a drug but if we can tax the weed it's medical 🤷‍♀️

Nicotine is highly recommended to detox from the clot shots forced on the public.

The tobacco excise is the problem...

You don’t need a long neck to be a goose Albo

I agree with what she said. These things are causing more division. I hope Albanese is taking notice. WE are all Australians.

I grew up with a beautiful half cast family in 1970 elders were amazing people no mention of the word.

Actually that indigenous woman is AI.. Welcome to country and acknowledgement of country, each thing quite different but most of you people with no brains don't know the difference... Has been happening a long time before you people foreigners and others have come to this nation to create settlements and colonies that eventually became. One nation. It has its place. Somewhat overdone in some cases and inappropriately done by people who are not the elder of that particular nation of indigenous people when it is a welcome to country. There are rules. Let's put it in your language. You have a visitor in your house. You rush off to the bathroom.. and the doorbell rings. Your visitor decides to open the door and bring in that person. You don't like the idea of that.. because it was the most inappropriate person to welcome somebody into your little bit of country. It has to be the right person doing the welcoming. If your guest opens the door and says yes Malcolm Roberts lives here... But doesn't invite them in. Doesn't make decisions on your behalf.. doesn't make any commitments.. that is an acknowledgement of your country. There's a time in a place when either of those is necessary and there's a time and a place where it's not necessary. It is done too much just for the sake of.. ... Six people at the workplace get together at 8 a.m. on a Monday morning before the doors open at 9 a.m... and your business is.... Selling shoes or doing the laundry or pulling up weeds or washing dogs or making pies.. or anything else. It is considerably overdone in mainstream society to have a welcome or an acknowledgement of country simply because some people want to talk about who's going to order the flour and who's going to roll the pastry. However under certain circumstances it is entirely appropriate. And pause and stop being discriminatory yourself. Feel grateful that someone has welcomed you... I think the welcoming is more Pride in being welcomed rather than being told clear out... for you foreigners.. you people who have arrived here since Federation or you people whose heritage has never really mingled beyond your own type... Acknowledgement of country can be done by anybody at all. It is just a moment of reflection and both events are just momentary reflections.. to acknowledge the respect we have for this nation.. with all the indigenous countries having combined now since Federation even though there was an oversight (rightly or wrongly, ) at Federation. And then there are the stupid stupid brain dead people who seem to think that it costs money to have a welcome to country. That is a lot different than indigenous entertainment. We pay entertainers to perform. We do not pay people who welcomes from the country from which they Forbes came... And we do not pay anyone who acknowledges that people have been here being custodians of this land long long before federation. We pay white people black people yellow people happy people said people also to people for their entertainment.. But that is very very uncommon and never regarded as a welcome to country. And just as a politician can have a car and an airline ticket to bring them into somebody else's country to conduct business... On the odd occasion somebody doing an acknowledgement of country or much more likely, the entertainment section of acknowledgement , on the cage in the taxi fare or match match more irregularly, an airline ticket maybe supp. This is very unusual and never never never for acknowledgement of country for anything big. Maybe the taxi fare to get to the location and pull you up at the right car parking spot so you don't have to encounter all you white fellow mockers and yellow fella thieves and purple and the green and the rainbow and all of the other people.. Don't be so upset and don't be so racist because you people don't understand the difference between a welcome to country and acknowledgement of country entertainment from indigenous performers or that you have only had a very short time in this nations history. Remember there was no Commonwealth of Australia until the 1st of January 1901. And if you have arrived here. Any of your bloodline whatsoever... If you have arrived here after that date then you are not a true Australian... Just the new one. Be grateful if you have been welcomed. It's normally 20 to 60 seconds maximum and often if at formal events, an education opportunity about what the name of the people were upon that land and how far their land had spread before the people of the next land had occupied. Currency is no excuse to be so racist. Come out this is our people full stuff if you have to be racist be racist to anyone with one drop of flood in their body that came from any relatives that arrived upon this nation after federation. Because you are the new Australians if at all Australia. Than the original ones. Where what's your brain when you went to school?

More of this needs to be circulated, not swept under the carpet to save face. Kudos to this woman for speaking out 👍

My Mates. All of them, say hello, and we shake hands too, sometimes. I think Albo believes The Mardigra, happens everytime two gay people meet aswell.

I grew up in a small town in the Western Australia wheat belt, we had a great aboriginal population. Most worked and contributed to the town and I agree with the woman in this post because we were all in it together. She has hit the nail on the head with what most people now feel about the WTC that we have to put up with all the time. My family (generations) are all buried in the same cemetery as the Aboriginal people are buried in. I went to school with the kids for many years and there was no division in the schools its the Government of today that are directing the division.

Well stated. I’m glad that this woman has spoken up. We will always be gracious in saying to people “welcome come inside” but we will never say “Welcome to my country” if we are both born here in Australia, we will only say “Welcome to Australia”, if you’re here on holiday or if you have made Australia your new country”

finally, someone speaks up! respect 🙌🙌🙌 also, when did people confuse the definition of "respect"? respect is earnt. it doesn't magically appear just because you were peer pressured into repeating the words "we respect" in some check-box speech.

Someone make this women prime minister

Anthony Albanese (Albozo) are you listening????

Personally, I think it's a bit patronising to accept a welcome, if you know that you wouldn't leave if they suddenly told you that you're not welcome. A bit like the police turning up at your door with a warrant and asking you if you mind if they come in.

This lady makes more sense than Albo ever

I 2nd what this lady said 1 Australia for all Australia

Started well. Then went haywire!

She makes more sense than Albo and would most likely do his job better too

Come in wont be the two words he gets from me..

One too many drinks again albo'

I totally agree. As a migrant who fled South Africa, I came to Australia hoping to be welcomed—and I truly was. I'm so grateful for Australia’s acceptance and kindness. ​Did I bring my old culture with me? Absolutely not. Why would I? Even the Springboks aren't my team anymore! I’m here to embrace this country and help make Australia a great place for all Australians.

I’ll welcome you in Albo …. I guarantee you’ll never leave 🇦🇺

Smart cookie

You know if the Spanish had found this country before the English there would be no indigenous people left at all. They didn't welcome us, ever. The English pushed their way in and the indigenous had no choice but to accept. But end of the day, that was a very long time ago with decades of interbreeding and now we all live here together. We are 1 country.

Well said , could not agree more with what she is saying a true Australian Indigenous woman.👏👏👏

Much respect to this young lady

It has no impact when flogged at every event and tacked onto emails and letters like an afterthought. It would have more impact if used at major events like commonwealth and Olympic Games.
