63914 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Associate Minister of Health: Does she stand by her statement "I have no connections to the tobacco industry and it's completely wrong to suggest that the tobacco industry has anything to do with these policies,” if so, have any other industries played a role in developing the policies in question?

Hon Casey Costello: Yes. It is unclear what the Member means by “other industries”, but if they're referring to those with a vested interest, then no.
