SECTION 301.4   Meaning of border controlled drug  

(1)    
A border controlled drug is a substance, other than a growing plant, that is:

(a)    listed by a regulation as a border controlled drug; or

(b)    a drug analogue of a listed border controlled drug; or

(c)    determined by the AFP Minister as a border controlled drug under section 301.13 (which deals with emergency determinations of serious drugs).

Note 1:

Some conditions must be satisfied before:

  • (a) a regulation can be made for paragraph (a) (see section 301.7 ); or
  • (b) a determination can be made for paragraph (c) (see subsection 301.13(2) ).
  • Note 2:

    For the meaning of drug analogue , see section 301.9 .


    (2)    


    However:

    (a)    the regulations may provide that a listed border controlled drug is taken, for the purposes of this Part, to be a border controlled drug only in relation to particular offences against this Part, or particular elements of those offences; and

    (b)    if the regulations so provide, then the listed border controlled drug is taken, for the purposes of this Part, to be a border controlled drug only in relation to those offences or elements.


    (3)    


    To avoid doubt, if a listed border controlled drug is taken, for the purposes of this Part, to be a border controlled drug only in relation to particular offences against this Part, or particular elements of those offences, then a drug analogue of the listed border controlled drug is taken, for the purposes of this Part, to be a border controlled drug only in relation to those offences or elements.
