Craig Kelly walked into the Engadine Gymnastics Club on Sunday night a man under pressure.

The embattled Liberal Party backbencher spotted a group of local politicians who had also been invited to hand out awards to excited children. The group included Lee Evans, a Liberal member of the NSW Parliament, and Carmelo Pesce, the Liberal mayor of the Sutherland Shire Council.

Kelly put out his hand to greet the mayor. Pesce put his hand behind his back.

"You're a f---ing prick!" Kelly shouted at Pesce. "Are you f---ing kidding me? You're not going to f---ing shake my hand?"

Pesce refused to speak but Kelly - who had spent much of Sunday trying to save his career - didn't take the hint: "What? Do you mean you're not going to f---ing shake my hand."

Pesce relented and told Kelly he could not stomach the thought of shaking his hand.

"You're a disgrace for what you're doing to the party," Pesce told Kelly.

"You're the disgrace," Kelly shot back. Gymnastics coach Graham Spooner intervened and told the men to cool it. So did Evans.

Kelly confirmed the encounter when contacted by Fairfax Media on Sunday night but declined to comment. Pesce refused to talk but Evans confirmed the exchange: "This is not how you behave in public," he said of Kelly.

What are Portugal's drug laws and what is so good about them? Are they mandatory or something?

Decriminalisation for personal use and a focus on harm reduction.

The Guardian posted:

In 2001, nearly two decades into Pereira�s accidental specialisation in addiction, Portugal became the first country to decriminalise the possession and consumption of all illicit substances. Rather than being arrested, those caught with a personal supply might be given a warning, a small fine, or told to appear before a local commission � a doctor, a lawyer and a social worker � about treatment, harm reduction, and the support services that were available to them.

The opioid crisis soon stabilised, and the ensuing years saw dramatic drops in problematic drug use, HIV and hepatitis infection rates, overdose deaths, drug-related crime and incarceration rates. HIV infection plummeted from an all-time high in 2000 of 104.2 new cases per million to 4.2 cases per million in 2015. The data behind these changes has been studied and cited as evidence by harm-reduction movements around the globe. It�s misleading, however, to credit these positive results entirely to a change in law.

Portugal�s remarkable recovery, and the fact that it has held steady through several changes in government � including conservative leaders who would have preferred to return to the US-style war on drugs � could not have happened without an enormous cultural shift, and a change in how the country viewed drugs, addiction � and itself. In many ways, the law was merely a reflection of transformations that were already happening in clinics, in pharmacies and around kitchen tables across the country. The official policy of decriminalisation made it far easier for a broad range of services (health, psychiatry, employment, housing etc) that had been struggling to pool their resources and expertise, to work together more effectively to serve their communities.

One of the previous proposals suggested just loving tunnelling straight from Sydney Central to Woy Woy to avoid all the problems involved in getting out of Sydney and around the Hawkesbury. The engineering challenges for high speed rail in Australia aren't insurmountable but they are quite expensive.

The only reason to do a new study is tradition. Every government does one, and every government finds it'll cost a lot of money and may not provide enough of a return to society.

What the gently caress does blowing off an overwhelmingly popular approach to climate change mitigation have to do with natsec (other than not doing it being bad for it)

But in both cases they are haunted by previous election campaigns.

Somehow Labor is going to amend to bill without it being seen as a backflip, without it being seen as looking weak and without it being a thing that every right wing gently caress will bring up from now until we are all dead.
