My question is also to the Minister for Health and Aged Care. In the May budget I welcomed the government's announcement of stronger legislation and funding to address the rising rates of vaping, particularly amongst schoolchildren and young Australians. Since that announcement, however, a number of convenience stores that sell vapes have opened up in my electorate of Mackellar. These stores are typically located close to busy school bus stops and they are selling vapes to school-aged children. What is the minister's timeline for shutting down the illegal sale of vapes to children?
