Companies and individuals found to have sold or imported dodgy masks could face civil and criminal prosecution under consumer law, customs law and the Therapeutic Goods Act, with penalties ranging from the seizure and forfeiture of goods to heavy fines and imprisonment.
Supplying counterfeit therapeutic goods, including masks, is a serious criminal offence under the Act, punishable by up to 7 years' imprisonment and fines of up to $420,000 for an individual or $2.1 million for a company. Civil penalties for supplying counterfeit goods include fines of up to $1.05 million for an individual or $10.5 million for a company.
A person who makes a false or misleading statement in connection with an application for a conformity assessment certificate for a medical device that is likely to result in harm or injury if used can be imprisoned for five years, fined $440,000, or both.

SA health authorities say they weren't told by Victoria of coronavirus case's arrivalSA health authorities say they were not informed by their Victorian counterparts about when a woman who subsequently tested positive for coronavirus would be arriving at Adelaide Airport. Would have thought it would be incumbent on SA Health to know the details before she was able to travel given it was a bloody exemption.
