When will you start warning people abour the killer drug, alcohol, that kills over 4000 Australians every year? Why are over 4000 people killed & nobody says or does anything? Do those people mean anything to anyone? FFS. auspol qldpol So which Health Authority has issued a health warning about ‘monkey dust’? I foolishly followed the links in incredulity and yep... NO health authority has issued a warning about ‘monkey dust’. The police- those with the analytical capabilities- have. Which 'Authority'? This has already been debunked.. Stop fear mongering!

Drug overdoses are a health issue, 'not a criminal issue' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host and Melbourne City Councillor Nicholas Reece says that the drug overdose issue is predominantly a health issue, not a crucial issue. \n\nMr Reece says that an evidence-based approach to the issue is necessary, as current plans promoting abstinence and giving harsher penalties don’t work.\n\nSix people hospitalised for suspected drug overdoses at the Rainbow Serpent Festival in Victoria, while ten people were taken to hospital after suspected drug use at two music festivals in Sydney on Australia Day.\n\n\n So all drugs are legal ? It remains criminal issue - don’t be deluded. The issue can be managed but no-one wants to put the solution in place !!! More BS from the Left If people do not take drugs, it will not because a health issue. ‘harsher penalties don’t work’ - really? I wonder how Singapore does it ... we just became too weak to fight.

My Health Record sparks GP liability concerns | Sky News AustraliaDoctors are seeking legal advice over potential liability issues as the My Health Record is officially rolled out across the country. \n\nGPs have expressed concerns about record keeping practices and incompatible software, reports say.\n\nWentworth MP Kerryn Phelps expressed fears of a 'malpractice nightmare', saying she sought legal advice on how to handle patients who have not opted out. \n\nAustralians have three days left to opt out from the service, with automatic accounts created on January 31.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Sorry. Govt connects to private industry, health & other bodies ..'Let us not talk of the honor of men, we shall bind them with the chains of the Constituiton'..We don't have one (British) so I don't buy it. Digitaldata is high risk at best of times. Data overload = abuse. I just don’t trust the politicians not to sell my information as has occurred with other government information sources. If it was only to be used for private health issues, I don’t think anyone would complain. But it is going to be accessed by Insurance, Workers comp and Government Doctors who will decide on things other than your health and wellbeing. So no!
