CHEMICAL WARFARE

-

THE Federal Government makes a big deal out of the use of chemical warfare in overseas countries like Syria, and takes considerab­le diplomatic action on such countries by imposing trade sanctions and political pressure for the Assad regime to step down.

But at the same time it is ignoring the chemical warfare (yes, warfare) being conducted upon our own Australian citizens by the prolific spread and use of mind-altering illicit substances.

These chemical agents in the form of methamphet­amine, heroin, cocaine, LSD, marijuana and other nasty mind-destroying substances continue to be trafficked into our country by foreign parties.

The Australian Border Patrol and federal and state police have their hands full with the idiots who take these soul-destroying poisons and then get behind the wheel and run out of control in our cities and towns.

The stupificat­ion of the Australian populace by these trafficker­s is threatenin­g the future of our country, and something serious needs to be done to tackle the issue from national, state and local levels.
