Text of the page (random words):
the howard government placed the soldiers sailors and airmen and women at risk in the event of a claim that any of them had committed an illegal act under the laws of armed conflict the first question that would arise in front of a tribunal would be whether the individuals concerned were lawfully in the theatre of conflict and without the governor general s authorisation they could not argue that they were we deserve better than this a decision as great as going to war the biggest decision a country can make and one on which the fate of millions of people will depend must be subject to the most exhaustive scrutiny australia s parliament should be a vital part of that process and not simply a rubber stamp governments proposing a particular military deployment should be required to explain to parliament why it is proposed what it will achieve and how the predictable costs will be met including looking after its victims and if a war is worth fighting it is worth the trouble to look after the victims as we did after world war ii to the enormous enrichment of our society so by all means let us have a rules based international order but to show that we are serious about that let us demand of our governments that they obey all of the rules all of the time posted by paul barratt at 7 18 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest

law reform media release embargoed until 00 01 on march 20 2017 senior police and prison officers are today standing side by side with drug users calling for law reform to bring an end to killing and criminalising young australians drug related deaths diseases injuries crimes and social costs continue to rise despite more than 80 000 consumer arrests in australia each year so now four former police commissioners and assistant commissioners two former heads of corrective services a former supreme court judge and a former director of public prosecutions have made history putting their names to a report that says it is time for decriminalisation can australia respond to drugs more effectively and safely is being launched by jeff kennett founder of beyondblue and former liberal premier of victoria and bob carr f ormer labor minister for foreign affairs and former premier of new south wales this remarkable australia21 report does something that has never been done before it tables solutions backed by the very people who were enforcing drug laws until recently it comes out of an unprecedented roundtable convened by mick palmer who has served as commissioner of both the australian federal police and northern territory police what we now have is badly broken ineffective and even counterproductive to the harm minimisation aims of australia s national illicit drugs policy said mr palmer we must be courageous enough to consider a new and different approach drug users and their families have welcomed the stand if i had been given support instead of being jailed i would have spent 20 years as a productive member of the community instead of succumbing to my heroin habit that repeatedly ended me up in prison said kat armstrong who has finally gone straight cleaned up and founded the women s justice network to support other offenders trying to do the same i don t want more kids or anyone to die or to ruin their lives like i did we must intervene and help them now before it s too late she said i know because i lived it can australia respond to drugs more effectively and safely recognises the weight of evidence from australia and overseas that proves policing is singularly unsuccessful in reducing harms or changing drug use habits the threshold step is to redefine drugs as primarily a health and social issue rather than one of criminal justice said dr alex wodak director of the alcohol and drug service at st vincent s hospital sydney from 1982 to 2012 and current president of the australian drug law reform foundation the australia21 report makes 13 key recommendations aimed at minimising harms for drug users and those around them reducing the use of untested unregulated drugs in unsafe environments providing health and social programs to reduce drug related problems reducing and even eliminating criminal control of the drug market reducing the prison population and its associated progress to hard drug use supporting police and the judicial system to focus law enforcement more usefully the australia21 report calls for an approach that distinguishes between high end production and trafficking on the one hand and personal use and possession on the other it does not recommend open slather legalisation of all drugs instead it supports incremental robustly evaluated steps towards a national policy of decriminalisation standardising the discretionary approach to personal use and possession of cannabis and other substances that is already being adopted by front line law enforcers at the state and territory level advertising of any legalised and regulated drugs would not be permitted and some harder substances would require stringent controls such as prescription by a doctor recognition of the disconnect between harm minimisation and arrests for use or possession has already led to decriminalisation in many countries including the usa 11 states netherlands switzerland france germany austria spain portugal belgium italy the czech republic denmark estonia ecuador armenia india brazil peru colombia argentina mexico paraguay uruguay costa rica and jamaica the australia21 recommendations have not been made lightly they have been carefully considered after rigorous debate among the diverse group of roundtable participants and it has taken more than a year to reach consensus on the details and sign off the text can australia respond to drugs more effectively and safely is the third in a series of australia21 reports examining drug law reform the others are the prohibition of illegal drugs

respond to drugs more effectively and safely summary of recommendations 1 the overriding objective of australia s national policy on drugs should be the minimisation of harm to users and those around them 2 the policy should include substantially reducing the size of or eliminating the criminal supply by incrementally moving psychoactive drugs from the black market 3 more proportionate funding should be directed into harm minimisation and away from ineffective drug law enforcement 4 it should be recognised that criminal and antisocial behaviour resulting from drug use is largely a result of the high costs of maintaining a drug habit and only in some cases the specific effect of the drug 5 users should be able to submit drugs for testing in a controlled environment to prevent avoidable deaths and overdoses 6 current practices to test drivers for the presence of psychoactive substances should be to ascertain whether the driver is unsafe or unfit to drive especially as new laws governing use of medicinal cannabis come into effect 7 key performance indicators kpis that include arrest rates for use and possession of psychoactive substances should be considered only partial measures of success unless they also include harm reduction measures 8 savings made from cutting back unproductive law enforcement activities should be re allocated within law enforcement to areas of greater benefit to the community 9 opioid substitution treatment ost including methadone and buprenorphine should be available for all heroin dependent prisoners sentenced and remanded and should continue to be available following release at reduced cost 10 the potential for an expanded ost service to substantially reduce the australian prison population and associated costs should be explored by state and federal taskforces and warrants serious attention by the australian productivity commission and the australian law reform commission 11 in view of the long and successful operation of the medically supervised injecting centre in sydney serious consideration should be given to the establishment of controlled drug consumption rooms in other parts of australia 12 australian authorities should review the effectiveness of the 2013 new zealand psychoactive substances act 13 two pilot projects to trial and evaluate the health and social programs recommended in this report should be conducted one in a remote disadvantaged community and another in an urban community with substantial social and drug related problems can australia respond to drugs more effectively and safely
