Save the Kiddies

(Published, NT News, Wed 7th Aug.)


Well the stage has been set.

Little Johnnie's off on a crusade with Mal as his first Lieutenant to save the Aboriginal kids from being thrown overboard by their people.

A situation they have been orchestrating for about eleven years now.

Claire, you could jump on the band wagon here and go on a campaign to save our children from death by ignorance.

As long as drugs are illegal our children have far greater access to the market than they would if all drugs were legal, not just alcohol and nicotine (two of the most damaging and addictive drugs known to man), and the industry properly regulated, just like the alcohol industry.

Think carefully on this issue, the future of Territory children is at stake here Claire.

End the immoral, expensive and failing "Tough on drugs" stance.

To control the industry, you must be the one running the industry.
(I often suspect that some among you are, most likely those who most vocally oppose legalisation).

Given the evidence, growing by the truck load around the world, to support legalisation of drugs as being the best way to deal with the issue of drug use in society.

One would be quite right in suspecting that someone vehemently opposed to the legalisation has a vested interest in the matter.

Stop confusing and deliberately blurring any distinction between drug use and drug addiction.

That is irresponsible education.

We should be treating drug addiction as a health issue.

Why do we still punish people for having a medical condition?

What year is this?

It's time for some of that "Forward thinking and progressive style of Government" you promised us.
