MODERATORS
They want drug use to be dangerous because they think that being dangerous will discourage use, and that making it safer will just result in more people using.
Based on every study by neutral parties they are completely wrong, but pearl clutches don't base their views on reality.
It’s more than that, they want cheap reasons to arrest people to justify their budgets.
It’s actually just greed, and they tell themselves they don’t have to give a shit about people who take drugs because “they’re the bad guys we said so”.
Fucking DISGUSTING.
pearl clutching
Ha! Can't believe I haven't heard this one before. I'm gonna use it all week to keep my usual long whinge-y "society is fucked" rants nice and short. My girlfriend will be very pleased.
Functional alcoholics reject testing of different drug for recreational users.
There... Fixed the heading.
Nsw best and finest child strip searchers
Quick, double the number of sniffer dog patrols at festivals!
Won’t some pone think of (sexually assaulting) the children.
Ffs nothing is a silver bullet. It's multiple approaches that are going to help
Why do they have their head so far up their ass compared to ACT labor
Progressive voters = progressive government. They don't have to worry about pissing off conservatives in the ACT, because there are so few of them.
ACT is a territory, therefore can have their own/different laws that exist under the umbrella of federal/ STATE system the rest of Australia falls under
Not relevant here
For some unknown reason the parties are swapped in NSW.
For example LNP in NSW would bring in policies that the Labor party would bring in other states, whereas the opposite is true for NSW Labor.
NSW LNP had very good policies like the electric vehicle policy, electric vehicle charging grants, they are the party of infrastructure with the westconnex and metro projects up, Parramatta light rail.
Whereas Chris Minns and Labor I'd actually compare Minns with the onion eater of all people. Very good at cancelling projects because he didn't think of it first and provides no policies or thoughts of his own.
Wanted to cancel the metro, whilst providing nothing in replacement (only saved because the project is too far to be cancelled), too scared to do anything in regards to housing policy, no pill testing is the latest one. Cancelled the ev grants. In fact I'm not sure of anything that they've done through their own policies since they came in. Hopefully an one term government because they seriously lack vision.
