I may give the impression that there isn't a government intervention into lessening illicit drug use that I don't like, but even I find it pretty amazingly intrusive that police in Sydney users sniffer dogs (and strip searches) for drugs on your average commuter crowd at places like Central Station. I mean, even for someone like me who hates the drug taking aspect of music festivals and am dubious about policies that semi endorse it can see that random searches of commuters is just extraordinary.
The only thing I can say about this is - did Labor have any different policy before the last election? If so, sorry people, but you got the police state you voted for...*
* I see that Labor was saying that music festival pill testing should not be off the table, so they do sound as if they were reform minded.
