Western Australian Current Acts Western Australian Current Acts (1) Where the danger
arising, or likely to arise, is exceptionally grave, or where there is a need
to evaluate a potential danger, to establish special procedures or require
special precautions, the Governor, on the recommendation of the Council, may
make regulations to prohibit the possession, sale, or use of any radioactive
substance, irradiating apparatus or electronic product, whether registered
under this Act or not, either —
(a)
absolutely; or
(b)
except upon and subject to such conditions, restrictions or limitations and
for such purpose as the Governor considers desirable in the public interest.
(2) Regulations made
under this section may provide that the penalty that may be imposed in
relation to a contravention may be such amount as appears to the court to be
just having regard to all the circumstances and the need to ensure that the
public interest shall prevail.
