Comparative statistics have no place in Andrew Bolt's world, do they? Conservatives avoid any comparisons that just might show how wrong they are. Legalising and or decriminalising cannabis remains a choice. Life is a risky business that guarantees death So any arguments about the costs and comparisons between drug risk indicate cannabis is by far the least riskiest drug in the market compared to ones currently available.
So if Bolt was really interested in public health, crime reduction and government spending decriminalisation of all drugs is the way to go. It's been proven over the long term by more than 30 countries over decades. Bolts arguments of strict regulation have like all conservative arguments is to maintain as many cultural divisions as possible in order for some political traction and most of all justification of ever increased surveillance over citizens. Conservative Politics is a donor business. Business both legal and illegal supports Conservative politics it's an investment in profit maintenance and not public health. Reasoned thinking, research and consequences of decriminalisation and regulation have shown in more than 30 countries the benefits. Benefits Europhile Bolt on any other day regards as civilized. The Netherlands, Switzerland and Portugal and more than 11 other EU countries and increasing number of US states along with Canada and countless others around the world show Bolt's thinking is simply anal and constipated.
IN DEFENCE OF PETA CREDLIN
Some of the attacks on Peta Credlin for what she said about Josh Frydenberg are astonishing. And spiteful. Let me tell you the real story.
"If the admonition was carried out as a media figure – and let’s be honest, all of us in the journalism business have been known to periodically tell politicians precisely what we think of them and their various courses of action – in what universe is it OK to retail a private conversation in public, as some strange little game of one-upmanship? "
Answer in a Fox News Murdoch media moment when admonishment is neutralised and admonishment plain and simple is reduced to innocent prediction after a "private" and undisclosed moment.
Frydenberg, for his part, reports that he’s unmoved by the admonition.
It’s all just one big meh. “I stand by my words and I’ll continue to call it as it is,” he says.

Why what Andrew Bolt doesn't reveal is so much more important and why the ABC is so essential to this nations democratic balance.

SANTA GETS CROSS
Not a happy team: "A furious Scott Morrison reprimanded Michael McCormack in a late night phone call after discovering the acting prime minister had used his first interview on the job to label the Treasurer Santa Claus with a big bag of Budget “goodies” to hand out."
