When is the Government Going to Get Serious About Drug Towns Like Nimbin?

The people of NSW are having the wool pulled over their eyes if they believe their State Labor Government is serious about fighting drugs.

This was proven by the recent "Mardi Grass" Festival in Nimbin.

If the police were serious about enforcing the law they could walk into Nimbin any day and arrest 1000 people for drug offences, not to mention 2000 people for social security fraud.

As a recent SBS TV program showed, and we all know, drugs are openly being sold and used in the streets and surrounds of Nimbin with the full knowledge of the Police and NSW Government.

Nimbin is a community whose existence is based on hard illegal drug use, just as much as clubs are based on poker machines and a hotel is based on liquor. It has been that way for 30 years.

It's no use our Governments putting the onus on parents to educate their kids about drugs. Politicians have taken away nearly all parents' rights to control and discipline, and once children walk out the front door they are at the
mercy of all the evil forces at work in our society, whereupon it becomes the duty of Governments, via their law-enforcement agencies, to protect them.

Nimbin, and other drug-towns like it, are festering warts on the face of the NSW and Federal Governments' phoney "harm minimisation" policy on drugs, and what you do with warts is you get rid of them.
