The Coalition has been accused of attempting to send the ACT government backwards to the 1950s after waging war on its plan to decriminalise drugs in the nation’s capital.
Responding to the opposition’s last-minute attempt to block the law on Thursday, the Greens senator David Shoebridge claimed it was due to the Coalition’s fear a successful drug decriminalisation program in the ACT could be replicated in other states and territories.
