The repeal lacked a robust rationale, was contrary to public opinion, and passed under urgency, a process that bypasses external review. To inform international endgame policy development and implementation, we critically reviewed arguments presented during the repeal debate.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We analysed the verbatim parliamentary debate (Hansard) using an approach modelled on the Policy Dystopia Model, a framework developed to critique tobacco companies' discursive strategies.

Coalition party members claimed the repealed measures would have promoted illicit trade and retail crime, and reduced public safety and freedom, arguments favoured by tobacco companies.
