Show Notes
We’ve known for some time that buying nicotine vapes over the counter has been illegal. So why are they still so easy to buy? And what’s slowed down progress on regulation? In Episode Two we’ll look at the legal loopholes vape manufacturers have been using to keep their vapes on the shelves. We also head to Parliament House to hear from those trying to crack down on vapes, and those trying to get them legalised.

As we dive a bit deeper, to examine the forces trying to legalise vaping, we uncover the role Big Tobacco has to play. So why do companies which traditionally have made their money from selling cigarettes, want vapes to be more readily available? And will the Government be able to push through with their reforms, with a force like Big Tobacco working against them?

It stands to reason that parliament should ‘set the standard’ when it comes to workplace safety. Yet the last few years have revealed the opposite. Slowly though, the tide is turning, and light is shining through to the toxic culture at the heart of our democracy. In the final episode of The Mirror, we look at what progress has been made for women in parliament and what the future holds for Australia’s next female Prime Minister - whenever that might be. This is the final episode of The Mirror. But if you want to hear more from us, subscribe to The Daily Aus wherever you get your podcasts.
