This blog began as an online newspaper about Kings Cross, Sydney. It now focuses on the deep problems of drug prohibition - which are so intrinsic to Kings Cross anyway - and exposes the many flaws in the prohibitionist argument, and the pseudo-science that governments fund to prop up their unjust and ineffective laws. Comments are welcome, but please be polite! Content on this site reflects only the views of the writer and are not necessarily those of the editor or any other organisation.

'Silencing Dissent' – APEC photo exhibition in Kings Cross
With our new Riot Squad kitted out like a cross between Robocop and the Sopranos, Sydney life imitates a B-grade movie while the arms and security industry makes a financial killing out of protecting their own dealmakers during APEC.
As conservative forces continue to militarise the world, removing civil rights in the name of 'The war on terror', this exhibition marks a turning point in our history.
See 40+ black-and-white prints from APEC week, now showing at Bugden's Bookshop, 220 William St (near McElhone St, two streets below the Coke sign).
