I'm both a serving politician, and a practicing doctor. The two cross over on a fairly regular basis, as was the case here when I interviewed a patient of mine about the ways in which having access to medicinal #cannabis changed his life. Have a listen. 👇

⛏️The government is trying to make it harder – and a lot more expensive – to campaign against mining leases here in WA. Harder to the tune of $450 per objection.

That’s why I’ve tabled amendments recently:

Or a line of literary breadcrumbs from Jack and Jill via the Wind in the Willows to the Hobbit. And a dictionary.

Ah yes. But was he driving while impaired. Let me ask that again for the intellectually impaired. WAS HE DRIVING WHILE IMPAIRED? Was he tested for impairment?

It is remarkable how often the most important political comment in the daily West Australian is actually my favourite cartoon character.

Let us as a nation realise that continuing to accept our position as a vassal state of a failing empire will not enhance our international stature nor our geopolitical security in any shape or form. It is time and past time to uncouple from that “alliance “

Pearls and Irritations @johnmenadue.com · 17d

To continue as if Washington’s dominance will endure is to abdicate responsibility. Australia must act now to rebalance our defence, invest in our sovereign economy, earn credibility in our region. By 2050 the world will be different. #auspol #USpolitics

The world in 2050 is already here

Dr Mike Gilligan has reminded us that Australia’s defence and foreign policies are pulling in opposite directions: we preach “equilibrium” in the Pacific while binding ourselves ever more tightly to Washington’s war plans against China. His warning is timely, but we must go further.

In 2018, just a few thousand accessed unapproved medicinal #cannabis. Fast forward to 2024 nearly 180,000 approvals in a single year!
Will policy and regulation keep up with what the community is already showing us:

Great to catch up with City of Rockingham Mayor, Deb Hamblin, this morning to discuss AUKUS, infrastructure, #Rockingham and #Baldivis. I also learnt that there may well have been a Walker aboard the sailing ship Rockingham when it delivered its first passengers to WA in 1830! #perth #wapol #auspol
