I would like to acknowledge the efforts the Minister made. We parked the Punch and Judy politics on this years ago but in the context of highlighting the issue of the flavouring of cigarettes and menthol cigarettes, I compliment him. Anything that discourages people and makes it more difficult for tobacco companies to encourage people to start smoking is welcome. I would like to put on record my party's appreciation of the efforts made during the Presidency.
