  • Legislative Assembly
    2891 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Thursday 18 October 2007 __________ The Speaker (The Hon. George Richard Torbay) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. The Speaker read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country. CHANNEL 7 FORMER EPPING SITE PROTECTION BILL 2007 Agreement in Principle Debate resumed from 27 September 2007. Mr GREG SMITH (Epping) [10.00 a.m.]: On the last occasion I spoke about constituents who had written in response to submissions called for by the Department of Planning about the proposed Channel 7 redevelopment in Mobbs Lane and I said that a massive number of home units and other dwellings were going to be erected on what is largely open space at the present time. I emphasised the traffic problems this development would cause in the very narrow laneway with one lane each way for traffic in an area where considerable flooding had occurred when open space was likely to be aggravated by the erection of lots of buildings. These constituents were not criticising the council; they wanted the power to decide questions on development applications to be returned to Parramatta City Council, which would have approved the erection of a much smaller number of dwellings on this site. One particular letter requested that Mr Tink introduce a private member's bill, which he did, and I now have reintroduced such a bill. Mr Tink received other letters from constituents reflecting the types of comments of a large number of individual representations, which numbered about 100. Most of the letters were original, not photocopies. In a letter dated 8 August 2006 addressed to the Minister but sent care of Mr Tink, who passed it to me, N.

  • Media, Policy and the Law: the Case of Crystal Methamphetamine
    Media, Policy and the Law: The Case of Crystal Methamphetamine Pota Forrest-Lawrence A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Law University of Sydney 2016 To the memory of my grandmother, Pota Caralis, who passed away during the writing of the thesis. Abstract Crystal methamphetamine has been constructed by Australian media as the most dangerous illicit drug of the twenty-first century. Such representations, so readily available in print media commentary, have transformed the image of the drug from relative obscurity to a drug worse than heroin and a modern-day folk devil. Media calls for swift and urgent political action to address the methamphetamine problem have urged policymakers to respond to this ‘national drug threat’. This thesis explores the media construction of crystal methamphetamine, its users, manufacturers, importers and those who policed them over the period 2000-2009. It examines whether, and if so, to what extent, media have contributed to the development of illicit drug policies and legislation during this period. The state of NSW was selected as a case study for this analysis. A total of 433 print media articles and six methamphetamine-related policies and laws were subject to a discourse analysis. It is argued that media created a ‘new ice risk’ that encouraged punitive policy making. The research reveals that the media response to the drug during this period drew on law enforcement, public health and government discourses. Embedded within this media response were competing and contradictory discourses of the ‘methamphetamine user’, ‘the enforcers’ and ‘the folk devil drug’ and their respective discourse strands.
