    They really are bereft of ideas, aren’t they.

      It won’t make them cheaper. The legit darts would be priced above the current cost of bootleg durries. The price would be low enough to not be worth pedaling dodgy fags.

      End result: higher price.

        My point was just that the noalition are now stealing one nation ‘policy’

        Australians really need to think about what that says about us… a country where something like smoking can be used as political enticement in 2026

    Now apply this to actual fun drugs.

    MDMA

    LSD

    Mushrooms

    Cannabis

    Ketamine

    GHB

    etc

    How would this hurt them at all? They will just do other things instead

    What would hurt them is if enforcement increased
