36 Alternation and rotation of messages and graphics
(1) For regulation 35A, if a retail package is required to bear a message or graphic mentioned in items 201 to 214 of Schedule 2, the manufacturer or importer of the package must:
(a) print the appropriate message or graphic on the package, or ensure that it is printed on the package, in relation to the period mentioned in subregulation (2); and
(b) ensure that, during the period, each message appears as nearly as practicable on an equal number of packages of each different kind of cigarette and of loose or pipe tobacco.
> Note For paragraph (b), regulation 39 sets out what constitutes different kinds of cigarettes or tobacco.
(2) For subregulation (1), the messages, graphics and periods are:
(a) the warning message, corresponding explanatory message and, if required, the corresponding graphic, mentioned in items 201 to 207 of Schedule 2, for:
(i) the period beginning on the commencement of this regulation and ending on 28 February 2006; and
