It is shameful for the opposition, for the shadow Attorney-General, to so grossly misrepresent laws that have been passed by the ACT Legislative Assembly and to so grossly misrepresent the process that the ACT Legislative Assembly went through in passing those laws. We have just heard such an extraordinary misinformation rant on this bill from the shadow Attorney-General. It does no credit to the opposition and in fact it causes direct harm to those people who have in good faith engaged with the evidence, engaged with their elected representatives and passed laws in the ACT Legislative Assembly that all the experts say will significantly reduce harm from illegal drugs. All the experts say that. Again, we get the opposition here trying to override territorians' right to self-government. They don't like what the ACT does—
