My question is to the Prime Minister. It is reported today that the government is considering increasing the tobacco excise. Just two weeks ago, the former Prime Minister described this plan as 'a workers' tax that would slug smokers'. Does the Prime Minister agree with the man he replaced or will the government increase the tobacco excise?
