The public hearings part of the Senate Committee inquiry into the Legalising Cannabis Bill 2023 bill (Senator David Shoebridge - Greens) have started this morning in Brisbane.
A link to the audio feed of public hearings is available here.
Submissions are available here.
Information about the bill is available here.
I can only stress the importance of reading the bill in it's entirety.
The click worthy highlights of the bill include a provision for homegrow of 6 plants.
Lowlights of the bill include the continuation of prohibition and the introduction of a regime that includes terms of imprisonment for 2 years or 2,000 penalty units, or both.
The current Commonwealth penalty unit for anyone interested is $313.00..
2000 x 313 = $626,000.00
