MELBOURNE air max 97 rose pale , Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- Drug dealers caught trafficking to school children could face a maximum jail term of 25 years, under new legislation to go before an Australian state's parliament this week.

Premier Daniel Andrews of Victoria state said on Tuesday those pedalling drugs were increasingly targeting kids just outside of school grounds, an intolerable act which warranted a lengthy stay in prison.

"We need to send ... a strong message that we won't tolerate anybody trying to get young kids into the clutches of this evil poison," Andrews said on Melbourne radio.

Andrews said the harsh stance would hopefully make drug traffickers think twice about trying to introduce children to destructive air max 97 grise pas cher , illicit substances like ice - also known as methamphetamine - which an estimated 1.9 percent of Victorians over the age of 14 used at least once last year.

The premier said recent data showed the despicable act of drug dealers preying on innocent-minded children was on the rise. Four instances were recorded by Victoria Police in 2011, a figure which grew to 28 in 2014.

The legislation is expected to be tabled in parliament sometime over the course of this week.

The legislation will also carry into law a 5-year maximum sentence for drug dealers who extort clients to sell drugs, as well as giving police the power to charge landlords who allow tenants to cultivate or manufacturer drugs on their property.

"I would hope everybody would vote for this. It is exactly what we need," Andrews said.

However air max 97 rouge bordeaux , the new legislation may not be fully passed through both of Victoria's parliamentary chambers until late December and subsequently won't be implemented until the early stages of 2016.

BEIJING, Sept. 2 (Xinhua) -- Fines worth more than 110 million yuan (17.8 million U.S. dollars) have been imposed on 23 property insurers and one insurance association in east China's Zhejiang Province after evidence of price monopolies was found.

The Zhejiang Provincial Insurance Association and 23 property insurance companies were found to have colluded on discounts on car insurance premiums during multiple meetings, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said on Tuesday.

The penalties against domestic insurance companies were the latest measures in China's anti-monopoly crackdown. Foreign carmakers and auto parts suppliers have also been fined for monopoly activities since the end of July.

The NDRC, China's top price antitrust agency air max 97 silver bullet pas cher , said it began its investigation into all 32 insurance companies in Zhejiang after it was tipped off that the association convened with 23 insurance companies to collude on discounts for premiums on newly purchased cars.

They also decided on a uniform commission fee for car insurance sales based on market share, according to the NDRC.

The 23 insurance companies violated the Anti-Monopoly Law, which prohibits competing market players from reaching monopoly agreements to fix or change the price of a good or service.

As the organizer and planner of the price monopoly, the insurance association was given the maximum fine of 500 nike air max 97 gold femme ,000 yuan, while property insurance companies were fined a total of 110.2 million yuan, or one percent of their revenues from commercial vehicle insurance last year.

Among the punished companies, the Zhejiang branch of CPIC Property Insurance was fined 20.70 million yuan air max 97 bleu ciel , while the Zhejiang units of Pingan Property Insurance and China United Property Insurance Co., Ltd. were fined 15.99 million yuan and 10.29 million yuan, respectively.

PICC Property and Casualty Co., Ltd. was exempt from the fines as it was the first company to turn itself in to the NDRC and submitted a report on the key evidence it had reached with other insurance companies

Meanwhile air max 97 blanche pas cher , anti-monopoly investigations into the Zhejiang branches of nine other insurers, including U.S. Liberty Insurance and Japanese Aioi Nissay Dowa Insurance (China) Company Limited, have been suspended as they did not participate in the monopoly agreement, according to NDRC.

China has stepped up its law enforcement against monopolies over the past two months nike air max 97 noir pas cher , but an NDRC spokesman acknowledged that it would be unlikely for antitrust departments to launch anti-monopoly investigation into every industry due to personnel shortage.

"Currently, most monopoly cases handled by the NDRC stemmed mainly from whistle-blowing," the spokesman said.

According to the NDRC, horizontal monopoly agreements between competing companies are quite difficult to spot or investigate when compared with vertical agreements involving a company and its downstream dealers.

The latest punishment followed a series of anti-monopoly investigations by China into top global brands such as Microsoft air max 97 undefeated blanche , Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz in the past two months.

The State Administration for Industry and Commerce on Monday gave Microsoft Corp. a 20-day deadline to explain compatibility and bundling issues with its Windows and Office software in its antitrust probe.

The NDRC spokesman noted that China'a anti-monopoly law treats all enterprises equally, be it a domestic enterprise or foreign firm.

Until the most recent cases, the NDRC itself has launched similar investigations into domestic and overseas LCD manufacturers nike air max 97 undefeated acheter , milk formula makers, pharmaceutical factories and liquor makers.

Last month, the NDRC handed down total fines of 1.24 billion yuan to 12 Japanese auto parts suppliers over price monopoly.
