Mephedrone is sold over the counter in the United Kingdom and is used as a plant fertilizer. Recently people in Australia have been charged with its importation. The drug itself does not feature in the criminal law however the Australian Federal Police consider it to be illegal and it may prove to be a derivative of another illegal drug. It will no doubt be only a matter of time before Parliament legislates to specifically make Mephedrone illegal.

Clem 7 Tunnel from Woolloongabba to Bowen Hills is due to open in early March 2010. We understand that a speed camera will be fixed in the tunnel. Two new speed cameras will also be located on the Pacific Motorway at Loganholme and also on the Gateway Arterial Road at Nudgee. If you are caught speeding and you are on a good behavior licence you may be entitled to a special hardship order enabling you to drive for work.
