Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2019-09-10.
This bill would make it illegal to bring certain cladding materials into the country.
It adds a new section to the Customs Act 1901 that classifies these panels as banned goods under existing import regulations.
The ban would take effect the day after the law receives royal assent, and panels already in Australia would not be affected.
