In 2011, under Nicola Roxon, we did lead the world with the reforms that went through both his house and the other house. For the past nine years we've needed more work done, and that's why we're bringing in this next critical step in the fight against tobacco and nicotine addiction. I urge the senator and the Senate to remember that this is why we're here. This legislation is about plain packaging, so that we can once again be world leaders in the way that we conduct ourselves in terms of this public health policy.
