A correction - Yesterday the NSW government announced changes to drug driving laws, and my response was too positive.

I've listened to feedback, so this video will discuss the flaws in the proposal, and how we talk about incremental change more broadly.

Another issue that didn't fit in the video is the proposed database for medicinal cannabis users. Depending how this is administered, we can anticipate privacy issues or police targeting drivers on this list.

"Last financial year, NSW Police paid out $40 million in settlements and legal costs to people who sued over the alleged misconduct of officers, more than any other state or territory."

"... although the taxpayer funds the payout, the public does not get to hear how serious the claims are, or whether the same officers are repeatedly accused."
