Refer to the question, s25 of the TAFE Education Act 2002, there is an offence “ to bring heroin, cannabis, cocaine or any other drug onto a TAFE campus”. Before we look the part (a) and (b) of the question, let’s definite ‘any other drug’ first.
Drug is not considered as a food, however it can be taken or put into a human body have medical, intoxicating, performance enhancing or other effects. There is no single, precise definition for drug.

She might guilty of the offence. However on the other thought, even she had aspirin powder with her and licking that in TAFE campus, where she get those aspirin powder? In S25 of the TAFE Education Act 2002, we notice the offence statement state that ‘bring’ and ‘drug trafficking’. Does Winnie bring these aspirin powder to the TAFE campus herself or she buy from someone else in the campus? Also, does she actually drug trafficking, selling the aspirin powder around the campus? In “Regina v Frank BERA [2001]NSWCCA 205 (24 may 2001)” case, the appellant pleaded guilty under [s25(2) of the Drug Misuse and Trafficking Act 1985], from this case we also understand the drug trafficking, the quantity of the drug should be consider as well, furthermore the evidence to prove that there have the relationship between the seller and the buyer. In this case law, the evidence would be the listening device tape recorded on the telephone of Les Kalache revealed a relationship for the supply of drugs between Parker, Kalache and the appellant. So refer back to the case,
