POLICE POWERS COMING FROM THE RIGHT
I must remonstrate against two points in your article "Nazi-style drug laws
may be open to abuse" (Herald, March 29).
Firstly, there is an inference that we have a wave of neo-Nazi drug-policy
activity. Could I suggest it is in fact neo-Liberal value-for-money
political activity?
Secondly, Sydney barrister Mr Stephen Odgers infers the new policy came
from "left field". Could I suggest that in fact this new drug-policy came
from the "right field"?
Perhaps ABC management are now advising Government on social issues!
