Only one political party had received funding from the tabboco industry,thats was the liberals.
It has also been reported that the Liberal Party will review the donations it receives from big tobacco. The party has received $3 million from Philip Morris and British American Tobacco since 1998. Labor, which refuses money from the tobacco industry, has been criticising the opposition for its reliance on donations from big tobacco.
Indeed your lie that labor provides poor health choices isnt supported by the facts.
But Australia's doctors are urging big tobacco not to head to court.
"This legislation will save lives,'' Australian Medical Association president Steve Hambleton said.
"The AMA urges the tobacco industry to accept the decision and desist from legal action or disruptive tactics designed to delay or stop the introduction of plain packaging."
Cancer Council Australia lauded the legislation's passage as a "great day in public health history".
