Thanks for a great article about the stupid reaction of our premier to the recommendations of the NSW Ice Inquiry. Wasting over two years to react, which caused so much pain, suffering, and death in the community, it is just simply criminal to be honest. From which Christian cloud did our premier come down, leaving Father Christmas behind, to say that ‘drugs don’t have a place in our society’!?.
Has he forgotten that alcohol is the worst drug of all, causing so much violence, death and suffering every day in our homes and on the streets? What a clever country we are, where, in Canberra, you can grow two cannabis plants and walk around with 50 grams, to protect politicians’ kids, while in NSW you are taken to court.
How many people died before we finally got past Howard [government] resistance and established safe injecting rooms. What a sad farce we are letting happen!
