As public concern and interest over medicinal cannabis has risen over the past year, a range of politicians and policy makers have indicated their interest in policy reform: from Prime Minister Tony Abbott, to NSW Premier Baird, ACT Chief Minister Katy Gallagher, Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce, Liberal National MP Warren Entch and the progressive Government of the Territory of Norfolk Island.
It's an issue that unites across the political divide and across all Federal, State and Territorial Governments.
And media from Alan Jones at 2GB, through to the Project on Ten, Insight on SBS and Sunday on 7, as well as print and coverage on the ABC have all highlighted the pitfalls of making criminals out of ordinary Australians, who are just trying to manage difficult and painful medical conditions.
This symposium is about finding a solution that has been able to be solved overseas, and which will not be going away in Australia.
