  1. Anyone hear about Zali Steggal and the RDT proposal for Australian politicians and their cronies?

     

    Independent MP Zali Steggall has pushed for drug and alcohol tests for members of parliament following an incident with the Nationals Deputy Leader last week during a Senate inquiry.

    “I do think the government is to look at this question and actually all leaders of all major parties and really consider random alcohol and drug testing in the Commonwealth workplace,” she told Sky News Australia. 

    “I think we really have to stop and consider as members of parliament the incredibly privileged role we have but also the example we need to set for our staff and advisors but also for others.

    “The incident from last week and now this week shows that there is bigger problem than what maybe is acknowledged.”

    Ms Steggall’s comments follow the shock admission of the Nationals Deputy Leader Perin Davey saying she drank alcohol before a Senate hearing.

    Been seeing Toadstools popping up everywhere last two days thought I'd check a local spot. Looked great from afar but no Cigar, not a Goldtop in sight. Signs for a season to come though maybe, When do you expect first flush RC?

    I've had a number of peeps out there flick me pics already for IDs. It depends on where you are though re rainfall as it's been super localised. 

     

    I just want to take the opportunity to put it out there that there are optimal conditions which are harm reductive to forage in. By that I mean, in the right conditions there will be little other mushrooms to confuse active ones with, and there will be a lot more available, making exposure to other less-favourable 'random variables' due to excessive time in the field attracting unwanted attention. Remember, one of the most harmful things about mushrooms are the laws surrounding their use and possession :wink: :BANGHEAD2:

  3. CDA clinics are alright, and I highly recommend BHC's Canview: https://canview.com.au/ for getting an overview of the products available :wink:

     

    Education is the key to de-stigmatisation. It is very easy to jump to anger and condemnation I know, but at the end of the day, presented with the actual facts and science of the matter, most people will be surprised at how little they actually knew, and what propaganda they believed to be true. :scratchhead:

     

    Just don't expect them to admit they have been misled, or that they are wrong and you are right; the likelihood is quite low. Not impossible though :lol:
