I'm seeing quite a lot of repeated sentiment throughout the comments that Halon is illegal and is no longer used.

Is the situation "Halon is legal in Australia" or "Halon isn't actually illegal per se if you don't use a lot of it"?

Halons are being phased out because, being CFCs, they deplete the ozone layer.

Other gases like argon or FM200 are not Halons.

Halon and Argonite are unrelated.
