The 'purse-lipped paragons of public morality' just can't work out what to ban in order to 'solve' the problem -- or even to be 'seen to be doing something.' It's a great window onto the 'binge' mentality of Aussie youth, with no alcohol or drugs in the picture at all. It's not even happening in Kings Cross!
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.

Is this for real?
Police dogs sniffing out drugs as you get off a train at Kings Cross station? People arrested for doing their job(solicitor) or taking photos?
Then there's Piers Ackerhead spewing his RW hatred and the braindead morons who support him.
And Ministerial Secretaries getting 18.9% pay rise to the tune of $1400 extra per week.
What about WYD and the blatant breach of our rights to even wear a certain T-shirt?
I am starting to hate this country. I bet the Greens are going to get popular very quickly.
I know what you mean about hating this country, or rather its general cultural direction. It's difficult to avoid the emotion, especially when faced with the abysmal tripe that serves as Aussie TV drama. A nice long walk in the beautiful parts of the city or countryside helps.
What really gets me is the apathy of the general public, many of whom seem to be self-righteous, smug dobbers without the least concern about minorities being persecuted as long as 'they're alright, Jack'.
The Greens might get more popular but I doubt it as most people with a conscience are already voting for them. The majority, on the other hand, seem to vote entirely on self-interest.
