The release, titled "Illicit tobacco governance documents", comprises an ATO internal email dated November 2016 transmitting an updated draft ATO submission to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Law Enforcement inquiry into illicit tobacco, with tracked changes. The submission excerpt covers related issues, including Australia's obligations under the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control and the prospective Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products, with preliminary work on track-and-trace technology. The release also includes a 2022 Department of Health email and a consultation draft of the National Tobacco Strategy 2022–2030, covering priority areas on tobacco affordability, supply and illicit trade (action 8.9 on monitoring illicit supply and enforcement), and governance. Much of the text is redacted, and no revenue figures, case volumes or compliance outcomes are visible in the excerpt.
