    I permanently left Australia. I was born there but will never return. I thought about moving to North Korea or Saudi Arabia for more freedoms.

    Australia bans absolutely everything . Their latest ban, on vapes is done to protect their tax on cigarettes. They are happy for countless to die in excruciating pain from cigarettes for this. The tax they earn from this more than covers all of Medicare which is all but non existent now anyway . A truly evil and disgusting country.

    I'm Australian and I'll tell you now the Australian government keeps getting it wrong. It costs about $40 for a packet of smokes minimum for a packet of 20! People have turned to illegal vapes and illegal smokes because the tax is ridiculous! Single use vapes with nicotine have been illegal for a while now and the police do nothing! They even use them! $40 = about £22.

    Vapers are 3x more likey to start smoking. The tobacco industry here is furious about it. The vapes are being sold to pre teen kids from shops set up near schools. For once a government is doing a good thing.

    I get ppl vapping to quit smoking but I don’t get kids taking up vapping to be cool. They look like a steam train 😂. I want to laugh everytime I’m fogged.

    Be assured, this move by the Australian government is only about protecting tobacco taxation revenues.

    This is a total " kneejerk" reaction from the Australian Government…. mainly due to the fact that they cannot get a lot of money from vaping as they do from their" tobacco excise taxing "…. in the UK vaping has been hailed by health professionals as a great way to stop smoking……obviously the Australian Government would prefer people to smoke cigarettes !……….

    Face it, life is overrated and the government just expects you to work all effing day, fill their coffers with tax money, and go without any ways to relieve stress.

    Australia has not banned vaping!
    Australia banned single used disposable vaping because they are a fire risk and people keep throwing them in the bush!

    Makes sense to ban an alternative to smoking and a proven way to kick the smoking addiction, so smokers who can't quit, have to keep shelling out $50+ a day. Economics LMAO. And on the Vaping is a gateway to Smoking. Who would give up a blueberry pie for Camel Sh!t?

    It shows how ignorant the government are. Of course tobacco companies want vaping banned, its the most effective way to stop smoking.
    It's all about money, they don't care about anyone's health. Dishonest government as usual.

    Cannot wait to move out of Australia. Just by the way to any utter clown who thinks this will stop anything – It's beyond easy to import THC vapes into Australia. You think customs are stopping nicotine vapes? Educate your drop kick kids, stop trying to be a fascist pig.

Ukraine accuses Putin of breaking promise to Trump with airstrikes on infrastructure | BBC News

Published

on



Russia and Ukraine launched air attacks that damaged each other’s infrastructure, just hours after Vladimir Putin said Russia would stop targeting Ukrainian energy sites.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia’s targets included hospitals. He said the Russian leader had in effect rejected a comprehensive ceasefire in his phone talks with US President Donald Trump.

Putin told Trump a full ceasefire would only work if Ukraine’s allies stopped giving military assistance – a condition Ukraine’s European allies have previously rejected.

Officials in the southern Russian region of Krasnodar said that a Ukrainian drone attack sparked a small fire at an oil depot. Within hours of Putin agreeing to halt attacks on energy infrastructure, Zelensky said there had been “hits, specifically on civilian infrastructure”, including a hospital in Sumy.

The region’s government posted footage of the destruction, in which smoke can be seen rising from the caved-in hospital wing. Officials have since said that there had been no casualties.

Russian state media has reported the Trump-Putin phone call as a victory for their country, with President Putin rejecting calls for a 30-day ceasefire and restating previous conditions.

Clive Myrie presents BBC News at Ten reporting by James Landale in Kyiv and Steve Rosenberg in Moscow.

Two civilians were killed and five others injured when an Israeli drone hit a tent near the al-Mawasi humanitarian zone, the Palestinian Wafa news agency reports, citing Red Crescent medics.

Israel’s army said it had targeted what it called a Hamas military site from where the group was preparing to fire into Israel. Vessels controlled by Hamas were also hit, the army said.
