A national vaping lobby group donated a total of $44,000 to the Liberal Party but the money was declared as personal gifts from its director on electoral returns.
Four Corners found many examples of vapes being sold on social media and used by teenagers to access illegal nicotine vapes.According to electoral records, the Liberal Party received sums of $20,000, $15,000, $7,000 and $2,000 from 33-year-old Sydney man Brian Marlow last financial year. The senator's comments about the effectiveness of vaping as a method to quit smoking are at odds with research published in a government-commissioned report and the latest findings of the National Health and Medical Research Council.
"Off the back of that, we held a series of vaping roundtable events to allow working-class vape shop employees and shop owners the chance to have long-form engagement with Members of Parliament."
That’s a career gone “up in smoke” 🤦♂️🤦♂️
$44K like really, is that even worth talking about lol..
Personal donations to the Liberal Party came from vaping lobby during debate over policy. One would clearly have to to question Liberal honestly in its role as representatives for the electorates of Australia.
Good
Shock horror.
NSW ICAC found $100k in paper bag delivered to NSWLabor by Chinese businessman - it’s not like we trust any of our politicians to do the right thing they can all be bought so let’s just ban donations and we will vote on merit.
More 'world's best practice' from the Liberal Party.
Yet Labor is bought and paid for by the unions.
$44K 'personal' donation for a vote to endorse vaping.. Falls well short of the pub test AusGovICAC
Bill them for all past present future vape related lung disease hospital admission. DO NOT USE OUR TAXES.
How we can call donation like that…Corruptions and who received that “Donation” liberals
Looks like vaping is the new sugar for the nanny staters. 🙄
The taxpayer funded media that tells its guests not to criticise a genocidal communist dictatorship has no right to be lecturing others about 'influence'.
Vaping does nothing for quitting smoking, Singapore, along with Malaysia have banned it's sale - - no doubt those 'fruity' vape liquids all have nicotine in them, easily available to kids and shackling them to a lifetime of addiction🙅♂️
Vaping is the most stupid thing out there. 'at least I'm not smoking!' as you fill your lungs with fluid, smelling like a candy factory.
If they require a prescription to get one I'm bewildered by all these people including school kids walking around openly vaping and I'll bet most have no prescription. Such is the disregard for the law and knowing there will likely be no consequences.
The tobacco lobby must have fronted up more.
What have you got to say about this issue, Mr. Battin (LNP member for Gembrook)?
A “Luxury” health issue? If Sen Hughes has benefited from vaping. What of the tragic health crisis around vaping? And its underground trade? This is not so respectable for a member who presents as someone who seems to be concerned about being so.
How many of those are Labor voters?
