Interesting. I wonder why the WA Public Health Act states "Authorisation to Supply or Administer a Poison" instead of "Authorisation to Supply or Administer a Medicine". Is it a poor choice of words, or something more?
Probably because the Fed legislation is referred to as The Poisons Stabdard.
- The Poisons Standard (the SUSMP)
The Poisons Standard consists of decisions regarding the classification of drugs and poisons into Schedules for inclusion in the relevant legislation of the States and Territories
