Is the Sydney media, in concert with the Liberal-National Coalition, guilty of covering up the NSW Labor Government’s breaches of Federal Law and the Constitution?

The NSW Government passed a Law allowing persons in possession of drugs such as heroin to be injected and used in a licensed and government-sanctioned place, known as “Medically Supervised Injection Centre”, but more commonly known as “The Shooting Gallery” or “Safe Injecting Room”.  Statistics later released proved that addicts also used cocaine, ice, oxycodone.

The merits of this Law and whether it provides a safe injecting facility for existing drug users or promotes wider use of these hard drugs by people using them for the first time, and the associated moral issues of these practices is not the subject of this document.

What is clear is that the NSW Labor Government is guilty of breaching sections of Federal Law.   

Section 109 of the Australian Constitution declares:  “When a Law of the State is inconsistent with the Law of the Commonwealth, the latter shall prevail, and the former shall, to the extent of the inconsistency, be invalid”.

The NSW Labor Government and the Liberal Opposition, together with the Greens Party, are guilty of committing Federal indictable offences against the Australian Customs Act, 1901 as amended.  Item 104  (the Act) of Schedule 4 of the Act states that Heroin is a prohibited Import, in effect no heroin is manufactured in Australia, and in 99% of cases imported heroin bears a chemical signature and must be seized in favour of the Commonwealth under specific Laws (Part XII Division 1 of the Crimes Act. 

The NSW Government’s Law is in conflict with the Federal Customs Act, in that the NSW Law ostensibly legitimises possession of Federally prohibited goods which are forfeit and whose possession is restricted.

The NSW Law is therefore constitutionally invalid and cannot stand against the Act which is federal Law.

Section 236 of the Customs Act, and Section 5 of the Crimes Act 1914,  read as follows:

“Any person who aids or abets, counsels or procures, or by an act of omission is in any way directly or indirectly knowingly concerned in, or party to, the commission of any offence against the Law of the Commonwealth, whether passed before or after the commencement of this Act, shall be deemed to have committed that offence and shall be punishable accordingly.”

Customs Act, section 231, Assembly for unlawful purposes.  All persons to the number of two (2) or more assembled for the purpose of preventing the seizure of any prohibited imports is an offence.  Penalty at section 235 (2, (a) (e)) fine not exceeding $2000 or two years jail or both.

Many concerned Australians want to know why the Howard Government Minister for Justice and Customs, Senator Amanda Vanstone, deleted Section 232 of the Customs Act, that states:  “Collusive Seizures: whoever being an officer of customs or police, makes any agreement not to seize goods liable to forfeiture shall be guilty of an Indictable offence and shall be liable to imprisonment with or without hard labour for any term not exceeding 5 years.”

The Federal Parliament deleted the above Section of the Act within four (4) weeks of the opening of the Sydney Injecting Room.

Australia’s senior Supreme Court Judge, Justice Moffitt, wrote the following brief on Heroin:

        “There can be neither a trial nor programme without Legal Heroin.  There is none in Australia and none can be imported or manufactured without Commonwealth Licence.  A State Law to the contrary would be constitutionally invalid – it is against Commonwealth Policy to provide legal heroin, even for medical purposes.  There are overwhelming reasons why control of heroin should remain under the control of a central Government.  Heroin is classified by the World Health Authority as a specially dangerous drug and is included in Schedule 1 and 4.  Therefore even if providing maintenance doses were for medical purposes under a maintenance programme would be in breach of the convention ‘having a trial’ of something which cannot be done.”

Facts:

·               There are more than 1000 distribution points nationally for taxpayer-funded syringes to supply addicts, allowing them to inject themselves with illegal imported substances such as heroin, cocaine, ice, etc.

·               People with illness such as Type 1 Diabetes must pay for their syringes to inject life-saving insulin

·               Many vital support drugs for people and pensioners with a range of illnesses have been deleted from the Government’s Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS)

·               Our sources reveal that at least 50% of people using the Kings Cross Injection Room are first-time users, introduced by other addicts who encourage supervised shoot-up of these poisons of choice, supplied by drug pushers frequenting the area.

·               The costs to these addicts can be as much as $1000 per week, leading to increased petty crimes to fund their habit.

·               The majority of Australians do not approve of the Injection Room and were unaware of its poor track record in curing addicts, or if its current operating costs – approximately $8 million per year – taxpayer funded.

Massive Political Cover-up

·               Why have the Federal Government and opposition parties failed to expose this blatant breach of the Australian Customs Act and turned a blind eye to the Federal indictable offences committed by the NSW Labor Government?

·               One could be forgiven for believing the NSW State Government is guilty of fostering an illegal drug culture and is supported by the Liberal-National Coalition and Greens Party, and by illegal legislation enacted to license the Kings Cross Injection Rooms.

·               Why have the Australian Federal Police, NSW Customs and the NSW Police failed to enforce Federal Law?  The only winners are the drug cartels which profit from these illegally imported substances – heroin, cocaine, ice, etc.

·               Have our Law Enforcement Agencies become political pawns in this battle to stop illegal drugs being imported and distributed into New South Wales?

·               The majority of talk back radio hosts appear to have ignored the illegality of the NSW State Government’s sanctioned Injection Rooms

·               The majority of political journalists from the Sydney Morning Herald, the Sun Herald, the Murdoch News Limited organisation, the Daily Telegraph and the Australian have ignored and not reported on the illegal activities of the Kings Cross Injection Rooms.

·               Why did the then Howard government, aided by the silence of the federal opposition fail to uphold the Australian Constitution, enforce Federal law and stand by their oath of office?

·               Why did the NSW Government, Opposition parties and major Sydney media organisations treat the people of NSW with utter contempt by covering up these serious, federally indictable criminal offences?

·               Who was responsible for preventing the Australian Customs officers, the Australian Federal Police officers and NSW Police Officers from enforcing Federal law?

·               Is it possible the Drug Cartels, drug pushers supplying addicts who use the Kings Cross Injection rooms are receiving protection in exchange for financial donations to political party slush funds?

·               Was the Sydney Media gagged in investigating this issue for fear of exposing criminal activity by those in high places?

·               Why have the opposition parties failed to meet with Governor Marie Bashir to seek the dismissal of this NSW Labor Government?

Ministers, this document will be distributed to every voter in those NSW marginal electorates prior to the 2011 election.
