Better hurry up and get your fake winter tan before this comes into effect :)
Has anyone ever used a tanning bed ?
Do you know of any WLs/MLs that use tanning beds ?

NSW Government to buy back harmful tanning beds ahead of a ban on solariums next year (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-06-30/sunbed-buyback/4790036?section=nsw)


Anti-solarium campaigners have welcomed a New South Wales Government buy-back scheme which aims to take all sun beds out of operation by the end of next year.

The Government has launched the scheme ahead of a state-wide ban that comes into effect from December 2014.

Tanning salons in the state will be offered a rebate of $1,000 for each bed, with no cap on the number of beds they are allowed to return.

The buy-back is aimed at preventing tanning businesses moving onto the black market once the ban comes into force.

More than 200 tanning beds are currently in use across the state.

Environment Minister Robyn Parker says sun beds bought back under the scheme will be destroyed.
