Regulatory Impact Statement - Attorney-General’s Department.
On 6 May 2014, the Attorney-General’s Department released a Regulation Impact Statement for consultation examining a proposal to ban the importation of substances which mimic the effects of illicit drugs. These substances are also known as new psychoactive substances. The Attorney-General’s Department has raised concerns that new psychoactive substances are not currently a prohibited import, unless they are listed on the criminal code, this allows potentially harmful pyschoactive substances to be legally imported into Australia. The Attorney-General’s Department invites submissions on the Regulation Impact Statement. Submissions were open until 5pm on Thursday, 22 May 2014.
