If I misunderstand, I apologise, but the ACMD said in its evidence that invoking a temporary ban must be appropriate. It went on to say:

“Therefore, we recommend that in referring a substance to the ACMD, you ask the ACMD to consider all options for control on reflection of the available evidence.”

It seems to me that the ACMD is recommending a more flexible approach to the classification of drugs under a temporary control order. What consideration, if any, have the Government given to that?
