| Anonymous Coward User ID: 75124186 Australia07/12/2017 04:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What a joke. Former cop keeps licence after ice test The former officer of 14 years had gone on sick leave in May 2011, suffering PTSD, and turned to ice and then drug-dealing after he left the force. Albury Local Court on Tuesday heard he had relapsed into ice use earlier this year following the news from the police insurer. He was tested about 11.20pm and found to have methamphetamine in his system. snip This, he argued, meant a dismissal of the charges without conviction was appropriate. Magistrate Erin Kennedy agreed and said he deserved a chance to prove himself in the community. [link to www.bordermail.com.au] |

Robberies will increase, as the people who's income has been cut off, struggle to survive. Also, how can they enforce this in South Australia, where it is legal to grow, and therefore inhale, pot? |

Next, they will be telling the woman they are pregnant before they themselves know. urine samples are like blood samples and PPE is needed. A lot can be taken from a urine test not just drugs ... |

This will never pass and is only designed to make money for private pathology companies which Scott Cuntface probably has shares in. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71717235 The article says they will do the tests at Centrelink. They will advise people by mail to come in, but not tell them what for. Is that even legal, to dupe someone into coming into a place where you plan to perform tests on them? |

This has recently been tested in the High Court, and been found to be a statutory fiction. Existing centrelink recipients will legally be allowed to refuse this test it can only apply to new people. |

No its not legal and im sure you will find it never comes to fruition its just this retarded governments attempt at trying to fix up Turnbulls "I am a leftist" comments. |

I will certainly challenge any test they want to perform on me, on those grounds. |

And calling them on the phone is about 90+ minutes you will never get back.. Now they are drug testing. Majority of Centrelink people can barely scratch their own as The issue is not the test. It's how long you can reschedule and get around the timing. In the end this will only effect pot smokers. |

The best part is the shill that just literally said they were moving to London, basically admitting they were getting paid 100s of dollars a day to troll us thinks we're gonna feel bad about it. You're having a fucking laugh... "deeply racist", LOL. |

Watch all the dole bludgers shave their heads and pubes to avoid being caught. Lazy fucking leaches 90% of them. |
