It's a waste of money, and is counter-productive - pushing people into crime and prostitution.

Most of our constitution deals with what rights and responsibilties our governments have and the legal rights of Corporations. Inferred/implicit rights are of no use to anyone except lawyers and Qc's when it comes time to argue in the courts on your own behalf. It's about time we had a constitution that explicitly outlines what human rights we have in this country.

I would like to see each State of Australia have the same laws and regulations. As an example each State has their own Police Force. Still keeping the same Police Force in each State but let it be administered from Canberra as a Branch of the Federal Police. There are so many different things between States today its common sence to put some of these things under a national banner.

One can only own a gun in Australia if one has a licence for it. One can only sell alcohol in Australia if one has a licence to do so. One can only drive a motor vehicle in Australia if one has the appropriate licence. One can only run a radio or TV station in Australia if one has acquired a licence to do so. All these restrictions on our liberty to do what we want when we want, but where are the people marching on the streets?
Why could we not apply this principle to the acquisition as well as the sale of alcohol? Anyone over the age of 18 who wants it can get a licence, which must be shown when purchasing alcohol, and as long as they act responsibly they can keep it. If they act irresponsibly their licence can be suspended or cancelled. Of course there will be those who try to get around their suspension by asking a licensed drinker to buy grog for them, just as Aborigines used to ask whites to buy liquor for them when they were banned from hotels, but anyone who acceded to this request would be endangering their own licence, as would the hotelier who sold to an unlicensed drinker. Many people would protest, at first, at the suggestion that they could not be trusted to drink responsibly, but when it was pointed out that the same could be said of car drivers, hoteliers or gun owners they would see the sense of it. As to the additional paperwork, we have computers to do all that now. |
