Fri 7 Mar - I think the issues of accountability, standards and general matters of crisis have been done enough for you this week. So to somewhat buck the trend I want to pull out a positive for the NSW Government this week!!! After first announcing it in 2004, the Government introduced legislation to make the "act of drink spiking itself" a crime that will result in up to 2 years imprisonment. Prior to this legislation I understand that the only acts that could be prosecuted were after the drink spiking itself - so it is undoubtedly a step forward for the state and will hopefully deter anyone who would contemplate such a despicable act. The only disappointment in this legislation was that an amendment proposed by Shadow Attorney-General Greg Smith was not supported. It is a shame there seems to be an unwritten rule that any ideas or suggestions from the other side of the chamber cannot be supported.
