DRUG LAWS FAILING

Guilt, not by association but by proximity? Reversal of the burden of 
proof ? Draconian police powers? NSW is becoming a police state. Our 
freedoms are increasingly eroded.

And they know that the inevitable outcome of these measures will be 
increased profits for the international drug trade and further 
overcrowding of our disgusting jails with hapless, uneducated, 
inarticulate young men whose criminal propensities will then be 
refined. Why?
