Way off the original topic, but I guess this can be a general Australian thread now.

Just a stub article, but refers to Calabrian involvement in the illicit tobacco trade. Federal taxes account for up to 50 to 80% of the cost of cigarettes here, and it's a massive source of revenue for the government. Hence the thriving trade in "home-grown" tobacco. Certain East Coast 'ndrine own and cultivate vast farmlands, where farmers used to grow "king-crop" weed plantations alongside their tomatoes (Tomatos?? Tomatoes??)
