More taxpayers moneys down the shitter as there’s yet another pointless drug chat fest in  Australia.

Chris Minns is determined to grow the black market until it is entirely ungovernable so he can then get re-elected on a law and order ticket and NSW Police get a healthy upgrade on their let’s chase cannabis baddies budget. As usual he has a mandate for most things having won government but not a mandate to deal with cannabis seriously

The ABC

Ask any government minister and they’ll tell you they’re keeping an open mind ahead of the long-awaited drug summit, which starts today.

Health Minister Ryan Park has vowed to listen to expert evidence and act quickly.

“What I don’t want to do … is pre-empt outcomes that might be in place,” he said.

Police Minister Yasmin Catley also said she was heading to the summit in Griffith without any preconceived outcomes in mind.

“I’m not going to get ahead of myself, we will be looking at this holistically,” she said.

And the premier says he won’t put the “cart before the horse.”

“We want to challenge the prevailing system,” he said ahead of the summit.

However, there’s one idea Chris Minns has lost his political appetite for: legalising cannabis.

“We don’t have a mandate for that,” he said.

“We didn’t go to the election promising it. It would be a big change in New South Wales.”

Premier unwilling to risk ‘soft on drugs’ badge

The idea of legalising cannabis is hardly a new one.

In opposition, the premier argued in favour of the concept, saying the state could regulate its sale and deprive criminal gangs of an important source of revenue.

On Thursday, a parliamentary inquiry recommended a major rethink of the state’s approach towards cannabis and, in this term of parliament, begin a gradual relaxation of rules that could pave the way for its complete legalisation.

Three Labor MPs were on the committee, chaired by Jeremy Buckingham from the Legalise Cannabis Party.

However, the premier is so wary of an opposition attack labelling him “soft on drugs” that he’s poured cold water on the idea before the summit has even begun.

“I can’t introduce a policy of that magnitude without asking for voter support, and as a result of that, I’ve got to manage expectations.

“That’s not on [the government’s] agenda.”

Government more receptive to drug-driving changes

Chris Minns says access to cannabis has “radically changed” since he first took an interest in this issue as a backbencher.

Hundreds of thousands of people now have prescriptions for medical cannabis, he says.

However, despite having those prescriptions, they face the prospect of a criminal charge if they fail a roadside drug test.

The same parliamentary inquiry recommended a defence be established for medicinal cannabis so that people with prescriptions can avoid punishment, as long as their driving isn’t impaired.

The premier says it’s only “reasonable” for the government to listen to experts and make a decision after the summit.

However, the police minister has previously argued that any amount of cannabis leads to driver impairment.

“You are considered impaired, so you’re impaired,” Yasmin Catley said in September.
