“Coalition MPs including George Christensen have revolted against Greg Hunt’s unilateral decision to ban the personal importation of liquid nicotine for vaping from 1 July. The decision, made by the health minister on Friday after parliament rose for a six-week adjournment, delighted doctors groups but has outraged Liberal and National backbenchers who favour legalisation of vaping. “This was all done without any consultation with the public or many government MPs including myself,” he said on Facebook. The Liberal senator James Paterson told Guardian Australia his views “remain unchanged”. “Vaping is a safer alternative to smoking,” he said. “We should be making it easier for smokers to quit, not harder. We should safely regulate vaping like virtually every other developed nation has done.” The Nationals senator Matt Canavan described as “overkill” the move to impose fines “for importing what is in most countries a legal product”.”
