I had reason to be at the launch of Poverty Week in NSW at Parliament House - didn't get the chance to raise my favourite topic as I glad-handled the Premier, I was representing another group but I certainly decided to mellow out before I left home.

PM - Tuesday, 23 March , 2004 18:40:09 Reporter: Ian Townsend MARK COLVIN: Two and a half tonnes of cannabis landed at the doors of Federal Parliament today, a gift from Queensland. It's the legal stuff, of course, though it did raise a few eyebrows. A frustrated Queensland company has sent each federal politician a 10-kilogram pack of industrial hemp mulch. It's part of a long-running battle to get the Government to relax the restrictions on growing hemp for food and fibre. Ian Townsend reports. IAN TOWNSEND: The mailrooms at Parliament House get the occasional odd item in the post. These individually addressed packs of cannabis posed a few problems, mainly …
