Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Given that toxicologists have warned that synthetic marijuana products may cause dangerous side-effects such as seizures, high blood pressure disorders, nausea and vomiting, and given that the Australian Medical Association has reported people being admitted to emergency departments suffering from the symptoms after using these products, will the federal government follow the lead of the Western Australian and Queensland governments and use any federal powers, including corporations powers, to ban these products once and for all?
