MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (15:20):</by>  I thank the honourable member for his question. I think all members of the community are concerned when people engage in illegal activity, which includes the supply or selling of illegal tobacco products. As I say, I am happy to take on notice the details of the original questions, which included what the member alluded to—essentially, the phoenixing of people who have been put out of business. I will have to get advice on that, but I certainly will and I will certainly bring back an answer for the Hon. Mr Pangallo.</text>
