Episode Details

Adelaide’s CBD is locked in a frustrating battle against illicit tobacco sales, with stores cycling through closures and reopenings as authorities struggle to stop the illegal trade. One shop has been shut down eight times — but current laws limit closures to 28 days without court orders, and even then, no more than 12 months. Experts like former border officer Rohan Pike are calling for jail time as a stronger deterrent, blaming high taxes for fueling the black market. Premier Peter Malinauskas says seizures and closures are rising thanks to new resources and landlord penalties, while resisting calls to slash taxes. The fight continues — enforcement vs. policy, with no easy fix in sight.
