Public Health (Tobacco and Other Products) Bill 2023 - Report from Federation Chamber - Close loopholes
Not passed by a large majority
No rebellions 70% attendance
5th Dec 2023, 9:30 PM – Senate Public Health (Tobacco and Other Products) Bill 2023 and another - In Committee - Vaping regulation
Summary
EditThe majority voted against amendments moved by Queensland Senator Matthew Canavan (LNP), which means they failed.
What do the amendments do?
Senator Canavan explained that:
Firstly, it removes liquid nicotine from schedule 4 of the Poisons Standard. I note that, at the moment, schedule 4 means that to obtain liquid nicotine you need to do so with a prescription in this country...
The second part of my amendments gives the minister power to regulate all of those aspects of the vaping market and to do so in a way similar to how smoking is regulated in this country...
Finally, the third part of my amendments would establish an industry fund. Those who are selling e-cigarettes would have to fund a disposable vapes collection scheme.
