| - Description: | These Regulations amend the Trade Practices (Consumer Product Safety Standard) (Reduced Fire Risk Cigarettes) Regulations 2008 to reduce the period during which suppliers of non-complying cigarettes can dispose of their stock from 12 months to 6 months so that after 23 September 2010 (ie before the beginning of the 2010 - 11 bushfire season, rather than after), all cigarettes sold in Australia will need to comply with the mandatory standard, irrespective of their date of manufacture or importation. |
