sallyrawsthorne Who would have thought that taking ecstasy for your whole adult life is safer than CO2 at 400 parts per million....GreensLogic Auspol

sallyrawsthorne I'm glad she is not in my electorate! She has taken illegal substances and should have to name her supplier to police. By saying she has taken it for 30 years is sending a message to young people that taking MDMA is OK, as a MP does take it too!

sallyrawsthorne How can any pill made in a backyard lab made from stuff bought from a bunnings be called 'safe'. Wake TF up..

sallyrawsthorne There are people from all ages and walks of life using illicit drugs recreationly and enjoying themselves.

sallyrawsthorne Take a look around the chamber next sitting day. The like bananaby turning up obviously drunk curtesy of tax payer funded dinning in parliament house. No one will bat an eye lid.

sallyrawsthorne The police have no option but to lay charges! Greens auspol

sallyrawsthorne Refreshing honesty.

sallyrawsthorne How many other Greens are druggies? Time for a Royal Commission into the Greens drug taking activity. Is it just this MP or is it widespread.

sallyrawsthorne What would a university professor know right?

sallyrawsthorne If you vote for the Greens,you should just give our Country to the muslims

sallyrawsthorne She’s in the majority of MPs

sallyrawsthorne Anyone here complaining about people doing drugs. YOU need to do drugs.

sallyrawsthorne I heard see has been straight for years.

sallyrawsthorne Well-meaning but the message seems to be that pill-testing becomes more legitimate as the social capital of those it benefits and protects is higher.

greencate sallyrawsthorne How you gonna take a pill when you’re 40, did you blast some Fleetwood Mac and start doing the Bus Stop 😂😂😂

sallyrawsthorne So for 20 years you have been a drug user and you want our children to listen to you. That is laughable. auspol

sallyrawsthorne Greens MP ecstacy user... former Labor bag man, who sold Australia out, SamDastyari and his drug use... yep, these are our political 'leaders'... Any wonder we are in serious trouble!!

sallyrawsthorne Really smart when people play Russian Roulette with their life. Obviously have no self esteem

JoshButler sallyrawsthorne Fancy that. A real person in politics.

greencate sallyrawsthorne She is using tax payers money to buy ILLEGAL DRUGS! Name your dealer & then resign!

sallyrawsthorne “ Ask, not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country “ including non support for drug dealers, support for our medical profession and guidance for the next generation. Oh... it’s the Greens...figures!

sallyrawsthorne She should resign.

sallyrawsthorne Freak.

sallyrawsthorne Clearly the system is not hard enough on druggos and dealers, because the system is run by druggos and dealers!

sallyrawsthorne Brave move greencate . More power to you! 👏👏👏👏

sallyrawsthorne If MPs are saying it is OK to break the laws, why behave?! Think I may have to volunteer again.

sallyrawsthorne Most people grow up though

sallyrawsthorne That explains most things about the greens...and Di Natalie?

sallyrawsthorne Parliament is no place for druggies kick her out.

sallyrawsthorne Next we will be saying that drug dealers are providing a community service 🙄🙄

JoshButler sallyrawsthorne If your stupid enough to take DRUGS/ PILLS then it is not Governments job to help you - the drug pushers will love pill testing to increase their sales

sallyrawsthorne What a surprise that a Greens MP turns out to be a druggie! I guess you'd have to be high in order to believe all the nonsensical tripe they come up with.

sallyrawsthorne More fool her

sallyrawsthorne Hands up everyone who, even once, smoked/ate weed, tried ecstasy, or popped something at a party.....I would guess there’s a lot of us out there.

greensjeremy sallyrawsthorne Cate is just one of the hundreds of thousands of Australians who live very productive and normal lives despite their drug of choice not being government approved. Prohibition is an expensive and counter-productive failure.

sallyrawsthorne I don’t think I’ll vote for her.

sallyrawsthorne They make better legislation on MDMA than boozed up IMHO

sallyrawsthorne I’d venture to say quite a % of pollies have used illegal drugs. Most don’t have to guts to be honest and maybe our idiotic population needs to be lied to? No worries about pollies turning up to work after a long lunch and making decisions that effect us though? Booze is ok? 🙄

sallyrawsthorne So a self confessed criminal.

sallyrawsthorne So she's admitted to supporting organised crime?

sallyrawsthorne Oh is the new paradigm for using illegal drugs 'bring honesty' what next robbing banks 'brings challenges' WTF

sallyrawsthorne Good think this drug isn't mind altering or she might've ended up having delusions about being a politician in a highly respected, popular and widely admired main stream political party

sallyrawsthorne Good for her, courageous to speak up but that's what the debate needs. Over 40% of adult Australians say they have taken drugs at some point. It's very unlikely that the figure includes no politicians! pilltesting

sallyrawsthorne How can she say she is honest when she refuses to say if she's taken drugs while employed as an MP? Greens are not fit for office.

sallyrawsthorne Gosh, these comments already. Imagine how much outrage there would be if people died from consuming alcohol or tobacco?

sallyrawsthorne Shouldn't she hand herself into the police for criminal offences? She cannot be in politics as a criminal. Or is she black?

sallyrawsthorne How this great revelation assists with anything is anyone’s guess. Does Ms Faehrmann want a medal?

sallyrawsthorne This is the same Green who propose decriminalisation of ice & other drugs

sallyrawsthorne explains the fried brain and these people are in the Australian Government explains alot

Wersula sallyrawsthorne Sam Dastyari said he has taken every drug on I'm a Celebrity auspol nswpol

sallyrawsthorne Well that explains a lot

sallyrawsthorne That femhelmet she's wearing 😁

Greens demand end to disability 'segregation', proposing $1 billion for accessible public spacesThe Greens are calling for $1 billion to be spent making buildings and public spaces more accessible to disabled people, concerned too many are being segregated from mainstream life by physical barriers PIC: Luke Stephenson Well documented cases in Melbourne where Owners Corporations have fought to prevent disabled people having dignity of accessibility. Like one in Flinders Lane where a group of women on an OCC fought to make a disabled man in a wheelchair use the garbage entry for 5 years Are the greens going to pay for it There are people who are good at making money, and there are people who are good at spending it, not necessarily in a bad senses. But we the tax payers need to ask where the money comes from before allowing these good people spend it. Someone will have to pay for it.
