Members of the community are urged to be alert to illegal tobacco crop farms in their local area and report these to authorities immediately. Tobacco crops are often found in regional areas and usually involve the illegal sourcing of water, which undermines legitimate farmers and the Government’s sustainability measures, especially in times of drought. If you suspect that illicit tobacco is being grown you can report it anonymously to the Illicit Tobacco Taskforce through the Australian Taxation Office by calling 1800 060 062 or by completing a tip off form through the ATO website: https://www.ato.gov.au/General/Gen/Making-a-tip-off/
