here is more on australian hrowing and plant numbers that are considered to much,
In comparison, Victoria defines a trafficable offence as a person having 10 or more plants, while in Tasmania it is softer than that, with the bar set at 20. Western Australia sets 10 plants as the point at which the presumption is that the person is a supplier. New South Wales, the Northern Territory and the ACT are tougher in this regard, with five being the magic number for New South Wales and the Northern Territory, while in the ACT it is one plant if the cultivation is artificial and three if it is natural (whatever that might mean).
here is the full link if any one wants a read.

this i though was interesteing aswell, note tas is only a fine, and qld is only 500g of matter and jail 15years !! fuck me i'm not gonna ever live in Qld
So, in terms of the numbers of plants, it seems to me that South Australia is on par with Victoria and Western Australia, twice as tough as Tasmania, half as tough as New South Wales and the Northern Territory, and only 5 per cent to 10 per cent as tough as the ACT.
The real difference appears to be in relation to what the penalty is when the defined number of plants is reached. In New South Wales an offender could be fined up to $2 200 and/or imprisoned for up to two years; for Victoria it is $2 150 and/or up to one year in prison; for Western Australia it is up to $2 000 and/or imprisonment for up to two years; for Tasmania it is a fine of up to $5 000; for the Northern Territory it is a similar amount, but also including an option of imprisonment for up to two years; and for the ACT the fine is up to $2 000 and/or two years in prison. I have not included Queensland in that because it does not quite compare apples with apples and simply refers to an `aggregate weight of more than 500 grams' rather than the number of plants and it does have an extreme penalty of up to 15 years' imprisonment.
