Drug mix fuels more violence

SURPRISE, surprise.
Channel Nine News reports that public displays of violence and violent crime have increased 72 per cent in the last 12 months.

Is it simply a coincidence that this sharp rise has coincided with the police efforts to remove cannabis from the market here in Darwin? Now the party goers in Darwin are travelling on a mix of alcohol and amphetamines.

I challenge anyh, or all, of our government ministers to walk, yes WALK, up Mitchell St at 4.30am on a Saturday or Sunday.
