According to a report from the Daily Telegraph on September 28, the newly appointed National Commissioner of Australia emphasized that they will fully crack down on the growing black market industries, which are fueling street violence by smuggling e-cigarettes and illegal tobacco, and turning children into nicotine addicts.
The first Commissioner in Australia specializing in investigating e-cigarettes and illicit tobacco, Erin Dale, stated that...
We must collectively adopt a coordinated approach to address the censorship and interference of these networks, while also focusing on their impact on the health and environment of our country.
Dell plans to convene federal and state anti-crime agencies in November to strategize on closing all loopholes exploited by underground forces and fundamentally combat their illegal operations.
Every time the public purchases illegal tobacco or e-cigarettes, they are actually providing funds to organized criminals.
Dell stated that organized crime aims to profit from any goods available, and they are currently targeting illegal tobacco and e-cigarettes. The government is taking this issue very seriously and will respond to it with full force.
Since March last year, a serious organized crime syndicate has been engaged in a turf war in Victoria state, resulting in over 71 cases of firebomb attacks, with the majority targeting tobacco shops. Mrs. Dale expressed concern that other states are also worried about this situation spreading to their areas.
According to reports, Australia has been banning the import of disposable e-cigarettes since January of this year. The Australian Border Force and the Therapeutic Goods Administration have already collaborated to seize over 5 million illegal e-cigarettes.
This is a significant achievement. Border officials tirelessly work, receiving professional training and demonstrating outstanding performance.
