For the information of honourable members I present a copy of the Tobacco Plain Packaging Regulations 2011 draft and seek leave to make a short statement.

Leave granted.

Today I am pleased to be tabling the final version of the Tobacco Plain Packaging Regulations 2011 as they relate to cigarettes and cigarette packaging. These regulations replace the previous draft regulations tabled on 6 July 2011 by the Minister for Health and Ageing when she introduced the Tobacco Plain Packaging Bill 2011 and the Trademarks Amendment (Tobacco Plain Packaging) Bill 2011.
