On the weekend of May 5 to 7, MP David Ettershank attended MardiGrass 2023, in Nimbin. A great opportunity to get together with all of the Legalise Cannabis MPs from 3 state parliaments.
The police presence, throughout the festival, was discrete and there were, as far as we are aware, no arrests or seizures in the town. This was a stark contrast from the extraordinary police presence at the Melbourne 420 rally only a few weeks ago.
David's takeaway was a profound sense of optimism, with a heartfelt belief that the time has finally come for meaningful reform.

Sydney, Australia, April 20, 2022 – In a bold and daring move to draw attention to the debate around the complete legalisation of Cannabis in Australia, an army of local protesters have taken to Sydney Harbour to project illuminations of Cannabis leaves on Australia’s iconic landmarks – Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. With a single voice, the question on the lips of these activists is; ‘Who Are We Hurting?’
Projections have been spotted on the sails of Sydney Opera House, as well as on the pylons of Sydney Harbour Bridge. These vivid festival-like projections mark April 20 (aka 420), a date that has been internationally accepted as the ‘day of Cannabis.’ This unique day was also christened ‘Stoner Christmas’ by the Australian Cannabis magazine – Dopamine.
The group have said they want to publicise the discussion around Cannabis in Australia and ask the government; who would be hurt by an amnesty? William Stolk, a member of the group said; “we also want to educate the Australian taxpayer on the benefits of fully legalising Cannabis in Australia, and on the huge amounts of money that will flow into the coffers of the Australian government for use in health care, schools, and roads as currently the profits are being made by private entities and organised crime.
Following a recent test run of these projections, Alec Zammitt, one of the founders of ‘who are we hurting’ became the subject of investigation by Sydney City detectives. “The Opera House authority is looking for a way to impose a fine for this. Nonetheless, this does not compare to the undue punishments faced by Cannabis consumers. I have now stepped aside to avoid any further undue force” Alec affirmed.
The Sydney Opera House is no stranger to activism or controversy. In 2018, the Australian government received widespread criticism over their use of the iconic building to promote a horse racing event with Prime Minister Scott Morrison at the time calling it “the biggest billboard we’ve got.” The 2003 efforts of David Burgess cannot be easily forgotten, where he painted the largest of the sails with bold words reading ‘No War’ in reference to the looming Iraq war, with today’s protest commentating on a different kind of war.
Following Scotty from marketing’s comments, a comedy group known as ‘The Chaser’ took the debate around advertising on the Sydney Opera House to the next level by successfully projecting ‘advertise here’ onto the iconic venue and some other Sydney landmarks.
Speaking further, Alec said; “Cannabis has been legal in Australia for years now. It is time to end evidence-free RDT and stop uniquely targeting this medicine through drug driving legislation. Additionally, we need to implement processes to gro

The New South Wales government will decide on a bill as to whether drivers with a medicinal cannabis prescription will be free from prosecution if they undergo a positive roadside drug test.
The NSW Legalise Cannabis Party will present a bill to parliament on Wednesday calling for medicinal cannabis to be treated like other legal medications for drivers.
Party member Jeremy Buckingham told 2GB's Ben Fordham if a person is taking medicinal cannabis in accordance with their prescription and doctor's advice they shouldn't be prosecuted when undergoing a roadside drug test.
In NSW currently, it is illegal to have any amount of cannabis in your system behind the wheel even if it is prescribed by a doctor.
For the first offence, it is a $600 fine and a three-month licence suspension.
"Cannabis slows down reaction time, reduces ability to respond to situations, it also changes your perception of distance and time, lowers your concentration, reduces coordination and makes your drowsy," NSW Police say.
But Buckingham argued the new bill doesn't make users completely exempt, only those who are complying with their prescription and doctor's advice.
He agreed with police's sentiment towards the drug that those can be symptoms and if people are abusing their medicinal cannabis they should be subject to an impairment test and possible prosecution.
"We don't think we should undermine our road safety rules the impairment test should stay," he said.
"This is so people that are taking their medicine and are unimpaired can continue to live their lives."
Buckingham said if the bill passes then NSW drivers who have a medicinal cannabis prescription, drive and are subject to a positive roadside drug test can go to court and present their prescription copping no fine or licence suspension.
"If they're taking that medicinal cannabis in accordance with their medical prescription and they're not impaired they should be free from prosecution if they test positive in a roadside drug test," he said.
The bill will be presented to parliament for a vote later today.

#ANXIETYAWARENESS
Tortured and torn when making decisions,
Life like the static on old televisions.
Mole hills become mountains, creating more missions;
I can't change gears, now I'm bound for collisions.
It's the battle and burden, I'm trying to express.
I've half bitten nails, from the noise and the stress...
Now victory comes, with each step from my mess.
Reaching summit, symbolically I threw off my dress!
It takes a second to focus, to fall or to flee.
Standing strong for who we are, or chosen to be.
Though the people around may help us to see,
Self-awareness and acceptance is what made me anxiety free.

The Tokyo Olympics may be the biggest sporting event this year, but last weekend in Nimbin there was an Olympics of a different kind.
The Mardi Grass festival was in full swing, and police were out in force.

With inspiration from Fairfax Media, we decided to fix two installations that have been missing from the Elizabeth Street Guerrilla Gallery Photo Exhibition... On a broke artists budget
Philanthropy need not be the domain of the rich. Art need not be confined to a gallery wall. Permission need not be begged for, nor granted. This is a gift.
