Francois le Danque Posted July 28, 2011 hello surely i will go just wondering, why is this on in november? i would have thought we would wait until 420 again next year and make it an annual thing. just keeping up the pressure? hopefully bigger turn out than last time, though it was still good.

qualia Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) have you guys tried to contact vic liberal party? even though i know this doesn't mean what the'd like you to think it does, this is taken from their website: "Where the Labor Party stands for the ‘nanny state’, the Liberal Party stands for the right and freedom of people to decide how they will live their own lives." http://vic.liberal.org.au/AboutUs/Whatwestandfor/tabid/199/Default.aspx considering the vic libs recently outlawed swearing *scoff*, legalising weed is probably a long way off. pointing out all the hypocrisy in the world won't really help much while the msm, which has the eyes and ears of most people, wilfully glosses over it or even perpetuates it. how then, i wonder, does the WA government get away with imposing increasingly harsh legislation without scrutiny, while, i presume, standing on a platform of personal freedoms (aka liberalism)? edit: included link and made opening paragraph intelligible Edited July 31, 2011 by qualia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qualia Posted July 31, 2011 serious question: would you vote liberal if they vowed to decriminalise weed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qualia Posted July 31, 2011 also maybe you should contact the age, or even crikey, the age i've seen at least one article which hasn't lumped dope smokers in with rapists so maybe you'd at least be treated with fair coverage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dude Posted August 1, 2011 qualia, whatever promise an elected official makes need only be flipped 180 degrees to see what their real intention is. If any politician vowed to decriminalise weed I'd take that to mean they're about to ramp up the war on drugs so that even thinking about getting high will get you jail time, or a free attitude adjustment.

Bretloth Posted August 1, 2011 All the local media will be contacted and hopefully we get some coverage this time. But that will be dependant on how many people show up! The turn out was small for the 1st one (1st one in melbs in 40 years!), hopefully it grows and grows and grows, like a weed. As for voting for anyone, personally I dont believe in voting in a 2 party preferential system, it's not democratic. Just me. Glass bongs most welcome!

Francois le Danque Posted August 1, 2011 we could always just vote for the greens. LOLOLOL but seriously they are the only sane party. and the most likely to decriminalise. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rabelais Posted August 1, 2011 How about contacting Sam Kekovich from the LDP, he is a hardcore libertarian. I haven't checked the LDP's drug policy but I imagine it is quite liberal. Fiona Patten from the Sex Party? I know she is an official spokesperson for Kronic...maybe a conflict of interest there. Sam for PM!!! No one is going to call MJ activists a bunch of hippies if Sam is there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bretloth Posted August 2, 2011 The thread is about the the peaceful rally for marijuana law reform in melbs nov 19. As far as the politics go, the Australian Sex Party is involved and will have someone speaking at the rally. Other parties are welcome. If you want marijuana law reform, are against the nanny state and value personal freedom and responsibility, you are welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

synchromesh Posted August 3, 2011 Yeah, I wouldn't expect a good hemp industry with them though. It looks like they only support nuclear power. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Francois le Danque Posted August 4, 2011 shouldnt we all be voting for this ? http://www.sovereigntyparty.org.au/ we should all be voting for whoever we want, that's how democracy works. in regards to this party (which i have never heard of and therefore don't expect to be very influential) i wouldn't vote for them for the following other reasons: -personally i think privatisation of public assets can work, see melbourne's rail system (privatised) compared with sydney's. the former is less crappy. -they seem very xenophobic, similar to mr rabbit STOP DA BOTES -speed cameras aren't perfect but i prefer them than people driving dangerously everywhere -carbon tax is good. sort of conflicting they say 'genuine climate care' whilst saying no carbon tax. just goes to show political parties will only tell you what you want to hear. -all their good policies are covered by the greens and sex party (lol as if they can be serious...dear me). back to topic at hand if we want cannabis legalised we probably shouldn't vote for liberal or labor that's for sure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
