Most of the avalanche of publicity around Australia 21’s launch of their report on drugs was quite favourable. The report called for vigorous community debate but was careful to avoid recommending any specific preferred policy response.
“The prohibition of illicit drugs is killing and criminalising our children and we are all letting it happen” was launched on April 3 at the national parliament.
Key Note Speaker:
Mr Mick Palmer AO APM - Former Commissioner Australian Federal Police
“The Drug Debate – It REALLY is Time to Talk”
“It is easy to roll out arguments about the harm created by our current arrangements. Young people who are convicted for being in possession of small amounts of cannabis automatically lose rights to be employed in the public service and in the defence forces and in the police services. They can’t travel, they can’t get visas to visit the United States. These are things that make sense to parents.”
