        (1)         A person must not, in the course of a trade or business, manufacture, sell or supply liquor to which this section applies.

Maximum penalty: $10 000.

        (2)         This section applies to such liquor as may be declared—

            (a)         by the Minister by notice in the Gazette; or

            (b)         by the regulations.

        (3)         A declaration may only be made under this section if the Minister is satisfied that, because of its name, design or packaging or for any other reason, the liquor is likely to have a special appeal to minors or be confused with confectionery or non-alcoholic beverage.

        (4)         A notice under subsection (2)(a) expires 42 days after it comes into operation or on such earlier day as is specified by the Minister in the notice or by subsequent notice in the Gazette.

        (5)         Before a regulation is made under subsection (2)(b) in relation to liquor, the Minister must give manufacturers, importers and distributors of the liquor known to the Minister at least 7 days within which to comment on the proposed regulation (but failure to do so does not affect the validity of the regulation).
