I think there is one thing on which everybody in this chamber, in this parliament and across the whole of Australia agrees, and that is that we don't want people, particularly children, to get access to vapes. Most particularly, we do not want a thriving black market to continue, which is what we know that we have under the current arrangements. To this end, Minister, could you advise where the Illicit Tobacco and E-cigarette Commissioner is and when they are due to commence their role? That was a previous commitment of your government about six months ago under previous legislation.
