Dr Brian Walker moved in parliament that his Bill, the Legalise Cannabis (Referendum) Bill 2025, be read for a second time. He made a point of mentioning the high number of Upper House votes received by the Party (earlier in 2025). A total of 44,700 votes cast for the Legalise Cannabis WA Party, a sure sign that cannabis law reform is on the agenda in WA!
|
|
|
Meanwhile in the Sunshine State, the Party is looking to expand their committee member numbers by organising a few sub-committees to deal with the like of fund-raising etc. Drawing from the members who stood for election in the recent state and federal elections it is onward and upward!

Fiona Patten unfortunately missed out on the last Senate seat in Victoria, it was very close but it went to the Labor Party in an historic win for them. However, she is buoyed by the election results with Legalise Cannabis attaining the fifth highest senate vote behind Labor, Liberal, the Greens and One Nation. Bring on 2028!

NSW Festival Strip Searches Class Action
The NSW Supreme Court hearing on Festival Strip Searches has exposed MAJOR failings.
-
NSW Police ADMITTED the strip search of lead plaintiff Raya Meredith was UNLAWFUL – after years of defending it!
-
Their defence? The ILLEGAL search was “objectively necessary”.
-
Meredith’s ordeal: asked to remove her tampon, male officer present while undressed, no privacy, no consent.
-
The 20-day trial? Ended in JUST 4 DAYS after police withdrew all 22 witnesses!
This class action represents over 3,000 people strip-searched at NSW music festivals since 2016. It highlights routine, invasive searches, often based on unreliable sniffer dog indications (drugs found only ~30% of the time). We’re now awaiting Justice Yehia's final decision. This could be a LANDMARK moment for police accountability and your rights in NSW.
