Pay rise for millions + How to solve our illegal tobacco crisis

Afternoon Headlines: Minimum wage going up by $32 a week, Erin Patterson continues to give evidence in murder trial and Bluey Lego has arrived in Australia.

Deep Dive: The sale of illegal tobacco is skyrocketing and has been linked to crime waves across the country.

The NSW Premier says one solution is to cut back on the federal excise on legal cigarettes, but some experts are slamming the move saying we need to shut down the supply chains and follow South Australia’s lead.

In this episode of The Briefing, Natarsha Belling is joined by Public Health expert Professor Becky Freeman who says cheap illegal cigarettes are also having a serious impact on our health with devastating long-term consequences.
