My questions are to the Minister representing the Minister for Health and Ageing, Senator Ludwig. In light of Senator Cormann’s successful motion yesterday in relation to total revenue and alcohol consumption due to the alcopops tax, I ask the minister the following: what proportion of revenue that has been raised from the alcopops tax to date has been used to fund drug and alcohol education and addiction programs, and what are the details of those programs; and, further, how much of this expenditure is actually devoted to new rather than pre-existing programs planned before the announcement of the tax?
