The anti's have pushed their tactics too far and they are starting to backfire.

"Flames lick up the front of a family-run shop in suburban Melbourne. The windows shatter with a pop as accelerant-fed fire takes hold. It isn’t a protection racket or a drugs feud. No, it’s a fight over the illicit tobacco trade.

In Australia, these fire-bombings have become grimly familiar. There are 15 shops documented as selling illicit tobacco within a kilometre of my home. Three have been torched in the past year. Almost everyone in urban Australia has been touched by this wave of gangland violence."
