Minister, I understand the TGA, the Therapeutic Goods Administration, did investigate this streamlining of processes and they had flagged concerns about it.

What would you say to that, that it's not in adherence to what the TGA had recommended?

Minister, we know talking about sexual health, there is a massive issue with STIs that are continuing to increase, not only across New South Wales, but right across the country.

Do you think we need a new safe sex education campaign?

So do we roll out an education campaign on that platform?

Because we know in the 1980s and 90s, Australia led the world in the HIV and safe sex message.

Do we need to make sure we do an education campaign on those platforms that they engage with?

Minister, regarding vaping, we did another story today on a young man came to us talking about his addiction to what's commonly known on the street as NANGs.

And he said this problem is affecting so many teenagers and young people right across the country.

He's calling for better government regulation, especially in being able to access these NANGs online.

and also cracking down on tobacconists because we know it's a highly addictive, incredibly damaging drug.

What are your thoughts on that?

Would you like to see tougher regulations ASAP?

I know it's being considered by your government.

We appreciate your time, Minister.

We know you have a very, very jam-packed schedule.

Thanks for joining us.

That was New South Wales Health Minister Ryan Park.

And that's it for this episode of the afternoon edition of The Briefing.
