My question is to the Prime Minister. Last year when speaking about Labor's responsible plan on tobacco excise, the health minister said:

…this is a grab for money, it's a political statement and I don't like it.

Does the Prime Minister agree with his Minister for Health: is raising tobacco excise to levels recommended by the World Health Organization a political statement or a grab for money?
