I provided the answer before about the Australian Taxation Office. I can point out what's in the ATO data in regard to your question. The net gap is the estimated amount of illicit tobacco that was not detected and made it into the illicit market. The net gap for 2021-22 was estimated to be 1,466 tonnes or $2.34 billion—13 per cent. That was an increase from 2020-21, when it was estimated to be 1,241 tonnes or $1.90 billion—10.4 per cent.
