A number of key points has been released in a proposal to empty jails of drug addicts and save the nation billions of dollars through misplaced enforcement priorities.

Professor of Criminology at Bond University, Paul Wilson, endorsed the plan and said that evidence from other countries showed categorically that the ‘war on drugs’ had been lost and that new strategies had to be looked at by Australian governments. 

“Four Royal Commissions have shown strong evidence of widespread corruption in the policing of drugs”, he said. “The total tangible costs of illegal drug abuse for 2004-5 for crime-related activities (police, courts, prisons, violence, insurance) is $3.8 billion which is acknowledged as an ‘under-reported’ figure.”

Makes immense sense … so, which party would that be? The ASP … the What? The Australian Sex Party! Cool, go for it, ASP.
