There is work in progress on a drug reform policy also, keep an eye on the website for that. Fiona Patten is a member of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, a big fan of MAPS, a reader of Bluelight and very street savvy.
There are one or two policies in there that I'm not in full agreement with but most of their policies are a far cry from what is on offer from the rest of the party politics.
