Garrett says the new law will act as a *deterrent*, yet cost prisons an extra $25m?, $50m? (I forget) over coming decades. How does this add up?

... or you'd need to take a pretty massive punt at the rich, which is actually quite problematic because they can rearrange their affairs into trusts etc.
Uh... they already do that, no?

Yeah, this is the same BS attitude that says I'm a hypocrite if I'm critical of capitalism yet... still buy my food from a supermarket! Sorry, but I live in Sandringham, so if I don't buy food, I'll be surviving on a diet of mostly cats.
And the idea that BDO is "counter-culture"? It's been the biggest event on the youth calender for the best part of 20 years!
Severely out of touch, that man.

@3410 - Do you refer to communications like this one, from the CEO of BAT to Dunne:
Yes. Where there's smoke, there's fire. ;)
[edit: Stephen, hadn't noticed you already linked this, but I think it deserves to be inline]
I too didn't see that until after I'd posted.

Paul Buchanan, not Pat Buchanan.

Don't know about that
Well, yes, when I said "[l]ibel laws prevent me..." I should perhaps have explained that I meant that I was not sure enough to make any bold accusations (hence "as I understand it".) Nevertheless, I feel safe in suggesting that his nickname "Peter Dunhill" is no accident.

As mentioned the last time we discussed this issue, should I ever find myself charged with possession, I'll be challenging the prosecution on Bill of Rights grounds. :) -
Irrational old naysayers like Dunne will die eventually.
It's more than irrationality that drives Dunne. Libel laws prevent me from being specific, but - as I understand it - the guy has certain "interests."

Yeah, I know he's almost dead...
Six weeks, if memory serves.

Perhaps we should push for marijuana-smoking to become compulsory and then eventually Parliament might meet us half way.
