"These products are cultivated and manufactured in Aurora's GMP accredited facilities and are made available for doctors to prescribe via the TGA's Special Access Scheme."

Aurora currently holds a 10% ownership stake in MedReleaf Australia, a fully licensed, private company. Together, they provide Australian patients with several innovative, Aurora-branded products, including dried flower, oils, soft gels, and resin cartridges.

Australian Senate Rejects Greens' Bill to Legalise Cannabis

The Australian Greens announced on Wednesday, November 27, that the Legalising Cannabis Bill 2023 was defeated in a 13 to 24 vote, preventing the federal legalisation of cannabis.

“The Labor and Coalition parties joined together to try and hold Australia back in the 1950s by blocking this desperately needed reform,” said Greens Senator for New South Wales David Shoebridge.

Shoebridge said on X that the parties “teamed up” to vote against legalizing cannabis in the Senate, “yet another example of the major parties working together to refuse any sort of progress.”

All 11 Greens Senators voted in favour of the Bill, as did Independent Senators Lidia Thorpe and Tammy Tyrrell.
