Most troubling, the Bill enables authorisation in specific circumstances, namely:
- Mandatory medical activity authorisations: for a human medicine that is or contains gene technology that has been approved by at least two recognised overseas Gene Technology Regulators.
- Emergency authorisations: when there is an actual or imminent threat to the health and safety of people or to the environment, for example, threat from a disease outbreak or an industrial spillage. The Minister responsible for the Bill when enacted (the Minister) will have the power to grant an emergency authorisation.
That will enable medical mandates. ‼️‼️
I suppose there will be a possibility to put in submissions just as with the Treaty Principles Bill Submissions closed yesterday and broke the system 👍😀
Yes, please put in your submission! And thanks for the feedback.
Thank you Keri for your thoughtful explanation.
This is what troubles me too:
