Laws need to be enforced, but only on those who don't voluntarily comply.

Well what a weekend it has been, Julia Gillard has promised that next year she will take action on her political romises, and Bob Brown has told people its not easy being Green. Well I'd say not easy being watermelon green in an Australian summer when you you wear a green mask and claim to be green and are pink and red commie on the inside of your political policies.

But this past weekend gets even weirder. Willie Nelson has been arrested by immigration officials in Texas for importing pot. Yep the grass smoking Willie pro-drug-legalisation campaigner has had the law catch up with him and aren't the pro-legalisation crowd going to town in support of him.

Frankly, I've heard all the crazy lines before the most obscure one is that marijuana is a plant so it can't possibly hurt you is a line that is often used in total ignorance of any number of natural plants that will kill you.

Of course there are some who want to debate the merits and issues all week but the bottom line with anyone in America, just as it is in Australia, is that the law says it is illegal to posses a prohibited substance and cannabis is one of those.

Of course there is always someone who claims that the law should not apply to them because they don't agree with it, Turn It Up...Laws need to be enforced, but only on those who don't voluntarily comply.

Come on lets support police not radical protests

Last week there was an interesting story of a woman who made a false allegation against a police officer. Now I rarely comment on matters before the courts, and a lot of people would already know the story so I don't want to go into it specifics, so lets just talk generally.

When will we see a group of Australians, and it doesn't matter their skin colour, doesn't matter what their religion is, standing side by side with police, wearing blue arm bands and waving Aussie flags or blue flags and sending a message that this Australian our community is one where we support our police. In Australia we don't support those who bring false allegations and try to lie their way out of paying the penalty for what they have done wrong. We do take seriously the importance of the population of Australia both getting along and obeying they laws.

There has been quite a lot of talk, particularly among anti-Muslim groups about organising some confronting protests - dressing up in black hand confronting Muslim around the courts during these types of cases – Turn It Up!
