The economic and social impact of legislation, policies or Commonwealth guidelines, with particular reference to: C :the sale and use of marijuana and associated products, including any impact on the health, enjoyment and finances of users and non-users; I would like to submit my own experience in regard to use of Cannabis and the availability of it and why it should be sold legally.
I am a chronic pain sufferer I am missing a disc in my back so my vertabrae are grinding and pinching making everyday a living hell for pain.

I have personally tried working through the standard channels of finding help and alleviation for my pain.
These channels started on things like prescriptions for Anti-depressants to much more addicitive substances such as Oxy-contin, the Oxy-contin left me addcited and very intoxicated most days, then I was told you can’t have these any longer , but we are glad to put you back on a number of Anti-depressants again and some anti- pshycotic drugs if you would like.

This was not acceptable since the quality of my life went down with each new medication I would try.
Also it created a huge instability for my wife and four children.

I read on the internet that Cannabis was good for pain and decided at the time to grow some of my own.

This took a short time and I eventually tried it .

I had more releif from Cannabis the very first time I tried it than all of my previous treatments, so naturally I would like to see it available for all users who require it.
The current situation of having to either grow it yourself and face a huge stigma and fines or jail time is terrible, and the alternative of going to see a “Dealer” is also terrible.
The idea of regulation sits well with me, because Cannabis taxes can be collected and help fund education and health in our community, and this would be better than wasting millions on law enforcement and incarceration cost chasing people who are using a plant to help their health needs or even recreational desires, because it is a plant that does less damage to society than alcohol, which I’m sure you all use regularly.
Regulation would also help to dis empower unlawful bikie gangs and other un desirable elemnts of society who make a living off of selling this substance, legalsisation would grealty impact their income.

Also If law enforcement was free to concentrate their effort on the Ice epidemic this would mean they could because they aren’t trying to catch so called criminals like myself, a family man, who is just in pain.
Thankyou for your time and consideration of these opinions and testimony of my own personal experience of how Cannabis affects me, and how legalisation of Cannabis would affect my life for the positive.

Sincerly Andrew Toft.

To whom it may concern, I would like to express a strongly concerned opinion over the new bill you are considering accepting.

How is it that the government want to keep the abuse thousands if not millions of animals suffering everyday a secret?!

Animal cruelty should not only be taken seriously, it should be punishable with stricter penalties and jail time.

There is nothing worse in this world than preying on a defenceless creature.
Whether it’s for enjoyment, to make a buck or to satisfy your sadistic tendencies, it’s wrong and the people educating the public should not be penalised whilst the criminal gets away scotch free.

Thank you for seeing the need to ensure our children are safe whilst online.

I find it appallingly that social media platforms and those who provide online services and streaming seem to be exempt from regulation in many areas such as in providing age appropriate advertising, by hindering the law by not disclosing personal details of paedophiles, by allowing live paid cybersex viewing and rape of children and the list goes on!

Public advertising should be G rated!


Advertising such as pop up ads whilst online is public advertising in my opinion and that should be G rated Pornography is harmful.

Studies link pornography to violence, dysfunctional relationships, and to sexualising our children from an early age.

Pornography tries to normalise inappropriate sexual behaviour which confuses our children, making them more vulnerable to predators and to abusing other children by re-enactment.
Children should not be able to see porn whilst online and they should not be able to access porn.

By introducing age verification and tighter laws with huge fines/ jail time for those who breach regulatory laws, only then will our children be protected.

There is no other way.

Sincerely, Inquiry into age verification for online wagering and online pornographySubmission 214

samesex.marriage.sen@aph.gov.au Submission Regarding Definition of marriage Dear Select Committee, I am writing to make a submission regarding the Same Sex Marriage bill.

As a health professional who works with many CALD and diverse communities in Australian over 30 years, I have concerns about the definition but also the drafting of the terms of reference being exclusive.
It is understood “The committee will only accept submissions strictly addressing its terms of reference, with a particular focus on the following areas: (a) the proposed exemptions in the Exposure Draft for ministers of religion, marriage celebrants and religious bodies and organisations to refuse to conduct or solemnise marriages, and the extent to which those exemptions prevent encroachment upon religious freedoms; (b) The nature and effect of the proposed amendment to the Sex Discrimination Act 1984; (C) Whether there should be any consequential amendments to this bill.” This does not allow for normal Freedom of thought, speech and religion and other freedoms are basic human rights.
When people exercise their right to speak up, they are exercising a fundamental human right; this should not be worded as an “exemption” to anti-discrimination laws.

(1)This fundamental right applies not just ministers of religion.

As with any basic, human right, it must be protected for everyone.

Otherwise there will be complete loss of freedom of speech regarding family and marriage for all non clergy in Australia.

(2)Concerns about same-sex marriage are not just for “religious” reasons.
(3)Many Australians are concerned about the accompanying changes to education, the de-gendering of society, the increased pressure for commercial surrogacy (USA) and even pressure on adoptions (UK) which has already occurred overseas.

Providing “exemptions” for religious beliefs will not address these concerns.

We must defend these fundamental institutions and the rights of all humans to object and refuse.

(4) Consider historical examples in countries that have legalised same-sex marriage.
They have been growing precedence of restrictions on religious freedom and free speech face increasing when marriage laws are changed.

Examples are diverse but they include wedding businesses sued, (USA) those in leadership positions being sacked, and some even faced jail time(Europe-) for simply disagreeing with same-sex marriage.

This takes on a witch hunt approach.

Australia has a proud history of freedom of speech supported by our constitution.
Please don’t undermine this with the redefining marriage Karen Goderie B.App.Sc.(O.T.)

This undermines the foundational principle that living in a free and democratic state represents and destroys the rights of human beings to free speech and freedom of association.
Compelling Internet providers and social networks to retain detailed logs of every citizen's online activities for two years contravenes the right to free speech and ability to associate with others and could be used just as readily to undermine oppositional groups who disagree with the government of the day as to detect potential criminal activity, especially when the government has the power to determine what 'criminal' means.
Compelling individuals to provide authorities with access to their private data ‐ including passwords to their computer ‐ without cause and threatening them with jail time if they refuse would result in innocent citizens being punished when they have not in fact committed a crime nor have had their day in court.

The government would, in this case, be circumventing the legal system and condemning an individual without just cause.
Allowing secret agencies ‐ whose activities are condoned by the government without the knowledge of its citizens ‐ to add, modify or delete existing files on an individual's computer, or access that person's private information and plant incriminating data on their computer that they did not write or own, would be tantamount to establishing a system akin to the operations of the Soviet KGB.
Allowing secret agencies to access individual's private data ‐ with very little accountability for their activities and a lack of corresponding oversight and capacity for secure storage ‐ would effectively enable hackers to access this important information for ill use far more readily because it is stored in one location.
Allowing secret agencies to treat an individual like a criminal when they may have inadvertently become associated in any way with the target of an investigation, and obliging them to provide access to their computer and personal information, so the agency can gather information on the subject of their investigation has the potential to ruin the lives of innocent people who may be falsely accused, jailed, and ill‐treated as well as having their reputation and standing in the community damaged beyond repair.

(268) 460-5100 Fax.

(268) 462-3225 pmsecretariat@gmail.com MEDIA STATEMENT ON RELATIONS WITH THE JOSEON CYBERNATION The Prime Minister’s Office takes great pleasure in announcing that Antigua and Barbuda has established diplomatic relations with the Joseon Cybernation effective 27 June 2023, following intense discussion and the unanimous decision of the Cabinet.
to the The Joseon is the non-territorial successor state Joseon Empire that was founded in 1392.

The non-territorial state seeks peaceful and friendly relations with the states of the United Nations in order to contribute to building a world of development and goodwill.

It makes no claim to any territory.

Joseon is a dynastic empire which ruled over a united Korea until the early 20th century.

It has been reimagined by Joseon King Andrew Lee as a digital nation without territory or borders.
Ambassador Perry Moise - Joseon Cybernation Representative (Left) Mr. Max Hurst - Chief of Staff in the PM’s office (Right) Antigua and Barbuda has, during its four decades of sovereignty, sought to build peace and friendship internationally and regionally.

The foreign policy of Antigua and Barbuda has been aimed at achieving friendly relations with all states and peoples, and literally declaring no state an enemy of this Small Island Developing State.
The country aims to befriend even those states and entities that are non-traditional and modern entities.

On 5th April 2022, the two states, Joseon and Antigua and Barbuda, signed an Agreement that supports education, economic investment and other developmental initiatives and provides the basis for longstanding friendly relations.

The signing of a Treaty of Peace, Amity, and Commerce with Antigua and Barbuda speaks to the forward-looking views and policies of our outstanding Caribbean state.
This newly executed agreement establishing diplomatic relations will continue the tradition of seeking peace and development with many partners.
