Another election, another opportunity to demonise the Greens

Greens drug policy 'absurd, disgusting' Their harm minimisation approach may have its own problems but the reaction to it in each campaign is the same - the major parties feign horror and dismay as they vie for the 'tough on drugs' mantle, a policy the Greens point out is presumably not working given that the use of illegal drugs is on the rise. If Labor and the Coalition are really serious about reducing drug abuse they could start by doing something about stopping people from marketing alcoholic drinks, mixers, to people under the age of 18.
