DOCTORS SHOULD ADMINISTER DRUGS

ECSTASY, speed and heroin should be administered by doctors or "medically
qualified personnel", the NSW Greens say.

Drugs should be tested for quality, potency and purity, the Greens said in
their NSW election policy statement released yesterday.

The party, which already has one member of the Upper Rouse, is also
advocating an end to prosecutions for personal drug use.

The Greens are also seeking an end to any further approvals for new roads,
calling for the creation of an integrated public transport network.

And they will campaign to spend 5 per cent of the roads budget on a bicycle
network.

Meanwhile, Greens Leader Ian Cohen also said the party had yet to finalise
preference deals with the Government.

Mr Cohen said be would be taking a "raft of demands" to the ALP which it
must meet before the Greens exchange vital preferences.

The Greens had the option in NSW to exhaust preferences.
