NSW MP Jeremy Buckingham on the Party’s legislative push this week: “This bill is a nationally coordinated, modest and responsible first step towards the legal regulation of cannabis…..It’s time to take cannabis supply out of the hands of organised crime and make the needs of the community, patients and consumers a priority.”

Victorian MP Rachel Payne also on the three-state agenda push: “For too long cannabis laws have disproportionately criminalised young people, indigenous people and culturally diverse communities. These laws currently cause real harm to marginalised groups, and we should as a society come together to do something about it.”
