l dedicate this to all the people who have lost family and friends from drug related issues and to the people in the future that will lose loved ones. I would also like to thank all the Police Force that fight to keep drugs out of Australia and off the streets, in doing this they risk their lives everyday.

I chose to do my protest unit on how Australia should have tougher drug laws. I feel that by making our laws tougher it would make people less likely to bring drugs into our country. It ruins people lives, destroy families and worst of all causes death.  Illicit drug use in Australia is a huge problem due to the amount of drugs being brought in illegally on a daily basis from drug traffickers. I personally dont think our laws are tough enough in Australia. The importing of drugs into Australia is a federal crime.
- Commercial quanity (for selling)= Life
- Marketable quanity = 25 years.
- Lesser quanities if importing with intent to sell = 10 years.
-Lesser quaniites if importation is for personal use - use 2 years.

(I choose this poem because it really lets people know how bad drugs are for you and what they can do to you and your family)

Have you ever been tempted?
Have you ever wanted to try?
The things I will say
May cause you to cry.

The things that can happen
If you ever take a drug,
You'll always be tired
You'll be slow as a slug.

There are so many illnesses
sure to be caught,
Your lungs,
Your heart and
Your brain Will rot.

If you ever take drugs
You will never turn back,
Health,
Wealth and
Looks you surly will lack.

You will be trapped forever
under the spell,
Of Cocaine, Marijuana
And others to tell.

Take a single drug
you'll only want more,
Temptations, temptations
Coming straight through the door.

If you avoid taking drugs
Fame and riches you could get,
But if your not convinced
not a single need would be met.

They'll run you out of town
They wont want you back,
The only place you can live
Is a small, rundown shack.

If you are still taking drugs
I know you're a fool,
Back then they were popular
Now there not cool.

Experiment,
Interest,
Or any other reason
You consuming drugs
Is worse than even treason.

But If still your not convinced
I don't know what else to say,
Just that drugs can conquer
The life you live today.

I choose this you tube clip because it gives a detailed look at how drugs are seized in Australia. It gives us a good understanding of how many drugs come into Australia. It makes me think  about how many dont get caught, and why we have such a big problem.

This image is stereotyping public schools. It is basically saying that because they are a public school and not a private school that there is drug abuse in the school.

My opinions have changed a little bit after watching and reading about drug trafficking in Australia. While I still think our laws need to be tougher, im not sure the death penalty should be used in every case. My mind changed after  watching a clip on The Bali 9. Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran they  had really turned their lives around while in prison and in my opinion should not of been executed.  They  showed that they regreted what they had done and were helping a lot  of people in prison in a positive way. In saying this  there are still cases where i think the dealth penalty should be used.
