Labor’s secret plan to legalise drugs has been revealed.
At the recent State Conference, Labor voted in favour of the “…decriminalisation of small volume use and possession of illicit drugs”.*
It’s there in black and white: Labor is soft on drugs. Because Labor delegates voted for it, it means it is now Labor’s official position and, according to the rules of the Labor Party, all Labor MPs in Tasmania including Rebecca White, are bound by that decision.
However, yesterday Ms White completely contradicted what the Party debated and decided at its State Conference when she told the media that “We (the Labor Party) don’t have a policy to decriminalise illicit drugs.”
Ms White has been caught out lying, again. Either she is too inexperienced and can’t actually remember what happened at Labor’s State Conference, or once again she is trying to con the people of Tasmania. Ms White needs to explain herself, because very clearly, Labor’s position is that it intends to legalise illicit drugs.
Labor’s plan to encourage and normalise drug use would be very harmful to Tasmanians, especially our young people. The impact on our hospital system and mental health services would be ferocious.
Not only that, at the same State Conference, Labor voted to support “public access to drug testing facilities”. In other words, Labor wants to set up taxpayer funded quality control for drug dealers which would only lead to more people taking illicit and dangerous drugs.
Labor has been caught out, Rebecca White’s secret agenda has been revealed and Tasmanians need to realise that if they vote for Ms White and Labor at the next election, they are voting for legalising illicit drugs, which should be treated as the scourge on society that they are.
