David Seymour says pharmacists and members of the public are supportive of his move to bring back pseudoephedrine. \xa0

The cold and flu drug was banned in 2011 in an effort to combat meth manufacturing.\xa0

Now, the Associate Health Minister is introducing a Bill to make it available from a pharmacy without a prescription.\xa0

Seymour told Mike Hosking that most people have told him what's available now doesn't work,\xa0and its small minority of pharmacists who are concerned about being robbed.\xa0

He says the question is are we going to punish everyone with an ineffective rule or are we going to punish the people committing the crimes.\xa0
