In short:
Craig Garland, the state parliament independent member for Braddon, has appeared in court in Tasmania’s north-west.
Mr Garland previously said he tested positive for cannabis at a roadside test in November.
What’s next?
Mr Garland must enter a plea at his next court date, on June 26.
Tasmanian independent MP Craig Garland has not entered a plea after appearing in court charged with drug driving.
The Braddon state MP was in Burnie Magistrates Court on Monday morning charged with one count of driving a motor vehicle whilst a prescribed illicit drug is present in your oral fluid.
He appeared unrepresented in court before Magistrate Katie Edwards, did not enter a plea to the charge, and was granted an adjournment until next month.
The former commercial fisherman, elected to state parliament at the 2024 election, told ABC Radio in November he had tested positive at a roadside drug test while on his way to Montagu, in the state’s north-west, to go fishing.
At the time, Mr Garland said he had used cannabis on and off for a long time — both as pain relief and recreationally — and had smoked cannabis the night before the test.
In the context of the charge, the word prescribed refers to it being an illicit drug in Tasmanian legislation, not that it is a prescription drug.
Magistrate Edwards told Mr Garland he would be required to enter a plea at his next appearance, on June 26, and to ensure he sought legal advice beforehand.
