Australia: Anti-drug bill passes SA Upper House
ABC News
Thursday 14 Feb 2008 State Parliament's Upper House has passed legislation that would ban the sale of pipes and bongs used to smoke cannabis. The private member's bill was put by independent MP Ann Bressington and supported by the major parties and Family First. It now goes to the Lower House. Ms Bressington believes it is a step toward reducing young people's exposure to drugs. "Before the police had the burden of proof to, they had to prove the equipment was being bought specifically to use drugs," she said. "This bill will now make it understood that this is drug-using paraphernalia and it's illegal to sell. "It's about reducing, I guess, the availability of these products so our kids may be a little less inclined to experiment, mainly because it's not in their face when they come into the city or when they go into the local shopping centres." http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/02/14/2162274.htm
