I speak in support of the Tobacco Legislation (Closure Orders) Amendment Bill 2025. I thank the Minister for Health for urgently bringing this critical bill to the Parliament. I also acknowledge and thank the many members of the inner west community—parents, carers, teachers, health workers, small business owners and many young people—who have contacted me with their concerns about this issue. Their voices have been clear and consistent: They are deeply concerned about the proliferation of illegal tobacco and vape stores in our neighbourhoods, and they want action.
