LEGALISE IT
Victorian Government has made the cowardly decision to rule out decriminalising cannabis – ignores the evidence, ignores the recommendations of an overwhelming majority of stakeholders & ignores 80% of Victorians who support decriminalising #cannabis.

Both major parties are looking to push this Bill through Parliament in the next week, despite the fact that the Minister mislead the public about ICAC having reviewed the Bill (which ICAC has now confirmed it did not).

The Bill contains major corruption risks.

The NSW Government is looking to rush major changes to planning laws that present significant corruption risks through Parliament this week, under the guise of providing affordable housing.

The Bill goes much further, applying to all developments in NSW.
