Oral Question on Cannabis - Legal Status - Green Party Hon PHIL GOFF: It is not my role to write drug or any other policy for any other party in this House, but my advice to anyone is that we want to see less use of illicit drugs and less abuse of alcohol, and all parties should take that approach.

Despite current Justice Minister Phil Goff's squeamishness at even jabbing the case with a stick, the legal machinery that rolled over Mr Ellis, causing collateral damage to four innocent co-workers at the creche, might yet come to his rescue.
