Scott Morrison drinks prohibited import
Prime Minister Scott Morrison tried the kava on his recent visit to Fiji. That was something he could not do legally in Australia. Kava was made a prohibited import when Tony Abbott was the country's Health Minister.
The decision was meant to stop Aboriginals in the Northern Territory abusing the substance. Pacific islanders were mightily upset by the decision.
Now that the national leader has given kava his approval and Mr Abbott has moved on to other things, perhaps the prohibition order will be lifted.
