Australia’s anti-corruption watchdog, ICAC, criticises the evidence presented to support claims about how to deter children under five from vaping. The matter is linked to statements made by Liberal operative Jeremy Greenwood, who continues to back the marketing advice attributed to Anita Perrottet.
Reporting across outlets refers to ICAC’s assessment that the evidence used in support of the approach is “ridiculous.” The coverage focuses on what ICAC finds problematic about the basis for the claims, rather than on a detailed public explanation of specific policy measures. All three sources connect the criticism to Greenwood’s ongoing advocacy and to the advice attributed to Perrottet.
While the articles share the same core framing—that ICAC rejects the evidence—each presents it through the same quoted emphasis on credibility and deterring under-fives from vaping. The differences are largely in publication style rather than in the underlying allegations described: ICAC challenges the validity of the evidence behind the marketing-related argument, and Greenwood remains publicly supportive of that guidance.
