BZP bill back

The Health Committee has reported back [PDF] on the Misuse of Drugs (Classification of BZP) Amendment Bill, and recommended that it be passed unamended. I'm appalled, but not surprised. Reading their report, the committee has simply ignored the empirical evidence of relative harmlessness, and not even considered how to resolve the serious inconsistency with the BORA [PDF] raised by the Attorney-General (which could have been fixed with a very simple amendment), instead handwaving it away with the promise of a future review. So, it's prohibition for prohibition's sake, and bugger consistency, evidence, or fundamental human rights.
