True Shrunk. Fact is they are just as interested in the easy income stream as they are in reducing accidents. Lots of hypocrisy with many of these issues - gambling, road rules, legal drugs - all give plenty of bucks to the coffers. I'd like to know why anti-smoking aids like Nicorettes arn't given away instead of costing a fortune. Answers pretty obvious

They are a bunch of absolute losers, masquerading as hippie angels, pretending to save the world with a few yoga moves, while pushing their tiara's as a fashion brand and a bunch of other nonsense. If they all exploded on drugs, the world wouldnt even feel a ripple. They are a bunch of nothings. The sniffer dogs should go home, put the paws up and watch the big bash cricket instead. Its better viewing.

You can't stand back and let them die, unfortunately, as they damage society & kill on the roads etc while slowly killing themselves.

Rusty .. That is immaterial.    You are correct , No Doubt.

The ones that DO Drink/drug DRIVE .    Need to lose their licence for long periods.   the judiciary are a joke.

Greg Inglis... Good behaviour bond ... No conviction -- No loss of licence .    He wasn't only pixxed ,he was doing 10K over the speed limit.

   NOT GOOD ENOUGH

You are not allowed to smoke in the Injecting Rooms.

     Doesn't that tell a story.

Pity I won't be here to storm the barricades and overthrow Government,

Have the Public hangings of ALL Lawyers, half of the other Academics .

    Stayers OK for the moment . School Teachers are well down the list.

Of course, by then we will have surrendered to Skynet, but at least the car won't get pinched.

I doubt Skynet will get far .      Medical Science has no idea of the workings of the Brain and associated problems.    Too many illnesses they can delay progress buy generally in the dark.
Then they con us, they will think for us before long .
As bad as climate Change ? global warming ? severe weather?
          We need TIM FLANNERY clones.

Which leads me to me inescapable conclusion and it's something I have always believed- dancing is bad for you.

Agree - & the worse you are at it the more dangerous it becomes. I only get rhythm when drunk as a skunk.

Tamworth Country Music festival ran over 8 days and no one died !!!    Must be the $hit house music at the raves thats killing them. 

Another 18 year old girl dead at the weekend of an OD.  Not at a music show but at a party.  ( In Sydney )  Friends claim it was her first time to try a drugs.  Had her whole life ahead, planning to travel for a gap year and come back to uni. Why would you do it when all the evidence is there in front of you.  Drugs kill.
