Australian Capital Territory Numbered Regulations

CRIMINAL CODE AMENDMENT REGULATION 2010 (NO 1) (NO 41 OF 2010) - REG 7

insert

    (5)     For a related precursor—

        (a)     a commercial quantity is the quantity mentioned in schedule 3, column 3 for—

              (i)     the precursor to which it is related; or

              (ii)     if it is related to more than 1 precursor—the precursor to which it is related that has the smallest quantity mentioned in schedule 3, column 3; and

        (b)     a large commercial quantity is the quantity mentioned in schedule 3, column 4 for—

              (i)     the precursor to which it is related; or

              (ii)     if it is related to more than 1 precursor—the precursor to which it is related that has the smallest quantity mentioned in schedule 3, column 3.

Example—par (a) (ii) and par (b) (ii)

Precursor X is a related precursor that is related to—

              •     Ammonia (sch 3, item 8); and

              •     Calcium (sch 3, item 20).

In sch 3, col 3, the quantity for Ammonia is 1.50kg and the quantity for Calcium is 0.25kg. Because the Calcium quantity is smaller than the Ammonia quantity, Calcium is the relevant precursor for working out the quantities for precursor X. Therefore, a commercial quantity of precursor X is 0.25kg and a large commercial quantity of precursor X is 0.50kg.

Note     An example is part of the regulation, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).
