This is probably not the page you’re looking for The Malinauskas Labor Government has hit a northern suburbs retail store caught selling illicit tobacco and vapes with its first long-term closure order. Following an application by Minister Michaels, Thingy Gifts in Salisbury North has been ordered to close for six months after a hearing in the Elizabeth Magistrates Court this morning. The Magistrates Court had been told that - in one raid alone – Consumer and Business Services (CBS) inspectors had seized more than 40,000 cigarettes, one thousand vapes and nearly four kilograms of loose tobacco. The court was told that the business had continued trading following successive raids, highlighting the need for a long-term closure order. The order takes effect immediately and CBS will serve the court orders once made available by the court. Any business who violates such an order can be hit with a penalty of up to $1.1 million and an individual up to $700,000. The Minister has also signed off on two short-term closure orders today, closing two illicit tobacco stores in Semaphore. The Malinauskas Government has been relentless in its fight against the illicit tobacco trade investing $16 million in a new taskforce within Consumer and Business Services from July 1 last year. We have also introduced penalties of up to $1.5 million for people caught selling illicit tobacco or vapes. The taskforce has conducted more than 350 inspections across the state with approximately $16 million worth of illicit tobacco and vapes seized in partnership with SAPOL's Operation Eclipse, Border Force and the TGA. We will not tolerate the threat posed to our community by the criminals involved in selling illicit tobacco and vapes. We have all seen the danger illicit tobacco shops pose and anyone involved in selling illicit tobacco and vapes is on notice that you will be caught and put out of business. This is just the first of many closure orders to come. The government will continue to raid these businesses, shut them down and get these products off our streets. As put by Brett Humphrey, Consumer and Business Services Commissioner We are leaving no stone unturned in our fight against illegal tobacco and vapes. Our investigations into this business - and a number of other illicit dealers - are continuing and we will continue working with authorities locally and nationally to disrupt and combat the flow of illegal product across South Australia.

often relieved to grab their newly signed DD-214 and exit their installation’s main gate for what may be the last time They often face an uncertain future filled with periling new responsibilities as they prepare themselves and their families for the next chapter of life as a civilian These challenges typically include months-long job searches; complicated housing arrangements; expensive health care; continuing and higher education; and many more considerations that are otherwise stable and predictable while serving on active-duty Many also choose to continue their service part-time through affiliations with a local National Guard or reserve unit – adding to the already granular transition process Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Department of Defense (DOD) has helped to prepare countless service members over the years for the very real transition every Soldier or Coast Guardsman will one day face when they become a “full-time” Veteran have worked to revitalize the five-day Transition Assistance Program which every active-duty service member must attend before leaving service many National Guardsmen and reservists may not always have the same opportunities in their own transitions following long activation periods or while exiting service after decades of monthly inactive duty for training – or “drill” – periods The Veterans Health Administration commits an abundance of outreach staff and resources to reinforce those transitory efforts for active-duty members and Veterans in communities throughout the nation to help cover some of those gaps In the VA’s Mid-Atlantic Health Care Network (VISN 6) the Salisbury VA Health Care System remains at the forefront of Veteran outreach initiatives to ensure transitioning service members are prepared to re-enter civilian life – whether for the first-time after a long career and retirement or following numerous activations as National Guardsmen and reservists Salisbury VA recently hosted a transition outreach event for U.S at the Charlotte Air National Guard Base in Charlotte Led by the facility’s VA Liaison and Post-9/11 Military2VA (M2VA) Case Management team the Airmen were offered VA health care enrollment opportunities and educational presentations about VA assistance on the health care and national cemetery roles of the department a transition patient advocate with the M2VA Case Management Program at Salisbury VA was joined at the event by colleagues from the Charlotte Health Care Center’s enrollment & eligibility team and the Charlotte Vet Center “We have established a great partnership with the 145th Airlift Wing,” said Nason “It is an honor to assist and serve military members of the North Carolina Air National Guard.” Many Airmen took the early portion of their weekend drill period to meet with VA staff to ask questions about their upcoming transition – whether that be in four years Several service members also stuck around to ensure they could ask private health questions with Salisbury VA employees and a crew chief with the 145th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron who has served on and off in the Air Force – first in the Air Force Reserves in Charleston before landing with the Guard in Charlotte – is preparing to exit service soon and use the VA benefits and health care he has earned through years of faithful military service “I came for all the benefits I qualify for and to get better information … so I can take care of myself and my family It’s something that I’ve earned so I want to make sure I utilize everything that I can,” said Staff Sgt After experiencing issues with enrolling in VA health care at other non-VA events throughout his career Moore left the presentation with a completed and submitted enrollment application – and a newfound appreciation for the plethora of VA resources he plans to use after completing his service with the Air National Guard “You never know what’s going to happen when you get out that’s when they step in and help you out,” he said Newly equipped with access to VA health care and other Veteran benefits in the Charlotte area like thousands of other Veterans before him when asked about what’s in store for him Moore did not shy away from talking first about pride in his decade-plus of Air Force service – a legacy he will carry on with him forever as a new Air Force Veteran “[The Air Force] was a good avenue for me It’s what you make out of it.” our mission is to fulfill President Lincoln’s promise to care for those who have served in our nation’s military and for their families Learn more at
