How the new vape ban is splitting the Coalition
Description
There’s an issue exposing fault lines within our political parties and pitting their traditional supporters against each other, fracturing the electorate.
That issue is the new ban on vapes, which is set to pass parliament at the end of the month.
The Albanese government’s proposed ban is putting pressure on the Coalition, which has already been losing ground with professional women tired of catching their kids with a vape, while the Greens fear they will alienate their younger voters if they oppose the bill.
Today, special correspondent for The Saturday Paper Jason Koutsoukis, on the politics of the new vaping ban – and why it will be hard to police.
