        Interesting how in that article the Police Commissioner says that it may "impinge against people's civil liberties", awesome he is so supportive of our rights. (If only he’d be as proactive for users #Cannabis!!!) 🤪

        Peak effing stupid. Meanwhile our daft PM is protecting liars, dual citizens, corrupt lobbyists, S44 breaches galore. And much of our media supports him.

        Sewing needles. Hah! They are for beginners. If have you never seen an angry granny with a crochet hook going off, well, lets say, you haven't experienced the fear of the damned.

        They took away needles but introduced a tax! Corporations should not be allowed to levy a TAX on the public! This is a very slippery slope #auspol #MilkTax
