I have some ideas to solve this problem maybe I will send my resume :) #tobaccoharmreduction www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victori...

Thank you so much to everyone who voted 1 for Legalise Cannabis this election, and also to those who gave us a preference. It can take a little longer to get a total senate result, and now we wait. I am so grateful for your support!

Only a couple hours of early voting left! It has been such a blast catching up with voters this week, and sharing our plan for cannabis reform! Vote 1 Legalise Cannabis to keep One Nation out! #legalisecannabis

Vote 1 in the Senate to ensure we beat One Nation! #legalisecannabis

Vote 1 to ensure we have the best chance. #legalisecannabis #auspol

Wonderful catching up with Sarah Sara on Radio National ABC this morning, and looking forward to spending time with more early voters today! #legalisecannabis

Fantastic to see friendly and familiar faces stop by to say hi while voting today in Abbotsford. #legalisecannabis #auspol

Busy week leading up to the election on Saturday, starting with @3rrrfm.bsky.social this morning! Listen in from 9am.

Our billboards have been out and about this weekend! Let me know if you’ve spotted one. 👀

Just saw liberal leader Brad Battin at the pro supervised injecting room rally. He quickly left when he realised he was at the wrong rally and raced off to join socialist mayor Jolly #endthewarondrugs

It was a joy to spend time in Cooper yesterday, where there was plenty of love for the leaf! Remember to Vote 1 for Legalise Cannabis in the Senate (the massive white paper)! #legalisecannabis

Just read this piece by Craig Hill, a former prison officer and current Legalise Cannabis candidate for the Federal seat of Bonner in Brisbane. Craig shares his personal experience of witnessing young people being incarcerated for cannabis possession. independentaustralia.net/life/life-di...

It's that time... #legalisecannabis

Thanks to @guardianaustralia.bsky.social for their write up on yesterday's 4/20 event held at Flagstaff Gardens. 300 people came along to show support for cannabis legalisation while enjoying good music and good company. #legalisecannabis tinyurl.com/4phkphxa

4/20 in the park at Flagstaff Gardens. It’s always a delight meeting new and not so new supporters. #legalisecannabis

I didn’t know the VIC Police were such supporters of the 420 cannabis reform movement. Here with at least 45 members and giving up their Easter Sunday to fly the flag 🚬

That's one vote! 🍀 👀 #legalisecannabis #AustralianElection #Newspoll #Auspoll

The industrial hemp market is worth $18 BILLION! Victoria plants around 200 hectares of industrial hemp a year worth almost $500k. It won't get you high, but you can build houses, make flooring, make pipes to replace PVC, and it's energy efficient! Victoria, cut the red tape! #legalisecannabis

Happy Easter, everyone!

Looking forward to watching tonight's debate on @abc-news.bsky.social

Very happy that our @nordacious.bsky.social how to vote card made the news! And may be the first time Ned has featured on a HTV www.theage.com.au/national/les...

Brazil joins the ever growing number of countries who have depenalised the adult use, possession and cultivation of cannabis norml.org/news/2025/04...

I had the pleasure of participating in the webinar pre-poll edition of the Not-for-profit Agenda at the Institute of Community Directors Australia, sharing insights into the how not-for-profits can better engage with politics. Check out the pre-interview here: 🔗 bit.ly/3FO7QKD

Here is how other countries successfully reduce smoking and maintain a legal and regulated market. No fire bombings or organised crime. Vaping devices are sold in licensed stores but also provided free to adult smokers by anti smoking orgs and funded by govt. ash.org.uk/media-centre....

Australia’s vaping laws are a disaster! Banning nicotine vapes has fueled the illicit market, while medical cannabis vapes remain unaffordable & out of reach for patients. Harm reduction is ignored in favor of prohibition. It’s time for sensible regulation! #auspol

It took over 5 years but finally Vic Anti Vilification Laws that protect people on grounds of disability, gender and sexuality passed. There was shenanigans from the Greens and Libs but the Bill that passed was largely the same as the one I introduced in 2019 www.theage.com.au/national/vic...

Heading to regional Vic today where cannabis use is nearly double that of metropolitan regions. And maybe not surprising support for the Legalise Cannabis Party is also some of the highest in the state. They are our connoisseurs of cannabis. fionapatten.com.au/statements/g...

Congratulations @davidettershankmp.bsky.social @rachelpaynemp.bsky.social Excellent report and great to see cross party support for cannabis reform in Victoria. No one should be criminalised for using cannabis #vicpol #legalisecannabis www.parliament.vic.gov.au/cannabisbill...

Plant-based plastics could help reduce the millions of tonnes of medical waste hospitals generated Sadly the biggest barrier is regulation. In Australia hemp farmers face unnecessary red tape preventing this fibre from being grown at scale #hemp #legalisecannabis theconversation.com/plant-based-...

Talking to our valuable and undervalued health workers at the Austin today. #AusPol #HACSU #SpringSt

Fine achievement. Congratulations to Trudeau. Now it's Australia's turn so take note those vying for the top job. www.marijuanamoment.net/legalizing-m... #AusPol #Canada #LegaliseCannabis

Going live in five on Channel Six News for its Victorian Senate Debate. Please come join us if you're free as we face questions from the indomitable Leo Puglisi. Should be fun. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xpd... #AusPol #LegaliseCannabis

Looking forward to getting grilled by @leopuglisi6.bsky.social and his team tomorrow night on Channel Six news! Debates start tonight for Queensland candidates with Victoria facing the music tomorrow. www.6newsau.com/post/6-news-... #AusPol #Channel6

Yes we did try country/barn dancing Yes we were awful at it and Yes it was hilarious #chillout #daylesford

Congratulations to Dr Brian Walker @bfw.bsky.social and the team. Looks like you're back in for another term! Another great result in WA for Legalise Cannabis and the thousands of voters who want real cannabis reforms. Well done. #WApol #AusPol #LegaliseCannabis

While we're a single issue party, our platform is governed by a set of principles focused on civil liberties, privacy, human rights, personal freedoms, anti-discrimination, tolerance and compassion. All legislation will be viewed through this lens. www.legalisecannabis.org.au/party-policy #auspol

'Consistent, very stable and highly sought after.' Our cannabis is the toast of the world, and we've just gotten started. So let's legalise it for everyone to enjoy! www.abc.net.au/listen/progr... #AusPol #LegaliseCannabis

Big Win for Medicinal Cannabis Users Thanks to legislation I introduced six years ago, Victoria’s drug laws change tomorrow. Medicinal cannabis patients will no longer be unfairly punished under outdated driving laws. Time to ensure equal rights for all medicinal users. #AusPol #LegaliseCannabis

Elections will never be the same without you, @antonygreenelec. A giant of Australian politics. 😘🙁📺💚💔 #AusPol

Great chatting with noted lawyer Sean Hocking, founder and editor of the Cannabis Law Report, on his Karma Koala Podcast. Enjoyed outlining where I've been and where I'd like us to be going with legal cannabis in Australia. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzdY... #AusPol #LegaliseCannabis

Dutton’s property empire, Labor policies - we need action. New York's not-for-profit 'Housing Works' received the first cannabis retail license turning over $US24 million in a year. NY is using legalisation to drive social change. Legalising cannabis benefits everyone. Time to catch up! #auspol

400,000 Australians aren't registered to vote! 97.8%'s a record, but we can do better. Compulsory voting, prop representation and the awesome AEC are hallmarks of our democracy and something to be proud of. If you haven't enrolled, please jump on board. www.aec.gov.au/Enrolling_to... #auspol

Following New York, Brisbane a warm change to chair a panel at the Medical Cannabis Symposium. It's important the medical model is maintained, patients have expert medical advice, excellent safe medicine and we ensure that research into this extraordinary plant continues. uicsymposium.org #auspol

Our fair and realistic plan is based on the ACT’s successful cannabis legalisation since 2020. It prioritises public health while focusing on the needs of patients and consumers. www.legalisecannabis.org.au/legal-regula... #auspol

Looking forward to joining Channel Six News for a Victoria Senate Debate next month. Congrats to Leo Puglisi and the team for covering the candidates that represent the third of voters now favouring independents, minor parties and grassroots movements such as Legalise Cannabis. #auspol

That's not a trumpet. This is a trumpet. #potpatriots #auspol

Can cannabis solve the housing crisis? New York funding social housing through legalised pot. Just one of the many great initiatives I found on my fact-finding trip. fionapatten.com.au/statements/f... #auspol #legalisecannbis #newyork

I will be interested to see how 'Aussie (felon) Trump' goes in the state election. Convicted of the abuse of his wife and chooses to change his name to another abuser's #auspol #waelection www.outinperth.com/wa-politicia...

If yo uare around Richmond this afternoon pop in to the opening of David Laity's fabulous exhibition Wildflowers lennoxst.gallery/exhibitions/...

Nearly 5 years ago I tabled a Bill to extend Victoria’s anti-vilification laws to cover hate speech based on gender, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity and sex characteristics. And this week it looks like finally passing into law! #vicpol www.starobserver.com.au/news/nationa...
