For fucks sake, he is 68. He is eligible for an old age pension, yet our laws want to throw him in jail. That is after they steal his house, and any other possessions that they class as "proceeds of crime", no doubt.

These arsehole pollies that have written these draconian laws need to be reminded that they work for US they are only there in the parliament because we put them there and we can remove them again.

 

The parliament ONLY exists at the will of the people and they have NO right to remove OUR freedoms.

 

Write to your local member of parliament both federal and state and remind them that they are public SERVANTS...... not public dictators

[Pam]

If it was anything like my own experience, they took some of the plant and used thier mobile lab ( a plastic tote full of test capsules) and made sure it was cannabis sativa...just in case it was some other pretty flower that they mistook for the real thing... Dirty rat bastards....

Maybe if they paid the pensioners decent amount, they wouldn't have to resort to growing. About $550.00 a fortnight for a single pensioner.
