QuestionView source ↗

I refer to recent news articles in The West Australian about drug-use kits that are currently available over the counter in some Perth shops. (1) Does the minister intend to introduce regulations or legislation to ban the sale of these kits? (2) If so, what is the drafting priority for this legislation or the regulations? (3) What is the expected date of the introduction of the bill or the regulations? Hon SUE ELLERY

AnswerView source ↗

There is no part (3) in the question I have in front of me. (1)-(2) The government is currently reviewing the adequacy of Western Australia’s legislation that relates to the sale of drug-use kits. The result of the review will determine whether new legislation is necessary.
