Kingsley Wheaton talking on podcast
The Smokeless Word

Episode 7 - Theo Foukkare


Kingsley got back behind the mic in his recent trip to Brussels for another episode of The Smokeless Word! 

This time, he’s joined by Theo Foukkare, the CEO of the Australian Association of Convenience Stores (AACS), to dive into one of Australia’s toughest challenges: the rise in the illicit trade and retail crime. 

Is current legislation helping or hurting? Join Kingsley and Theo as they tackle this question head-on in a frank conversation that sheds light on the realities faced by small businesses, the unintended effects of policy decisions, and what real solutions could look like. 

This episode is an essential listen for policymakers, offering lessons that extend far beyond Australia's shores.
