Posted on December 29, 2010

This is a debate on CNN over Wikileaks that is deeply revealing. Note the strong sense that journalists should really not uncover information that could upset governments:

  • Beautiful cherry 🍒 blossoms in #Canberra, #Australia’s nippy capital. #booktour #nature #beauty
  • During my recent #Australian book tour for my new @scribepub book, ‘Pills, Powder and Smoke: Inside the Bloody War on Drugs’, I was photographed by the great @simonschluter for the #SydneyMorningHerald and #MelbourneAge for an article about drug testing welfare recipients (#crazyidea). These are the images from that shoot. I rarely post photos of myself so thanks to Simon for the images (and the man himself at the end showing off his fine lens). #portrait #journalism #melbourne
  • Challenging the representation of #Australia as a white nation with a more accurate multicultural view. Seen outside the great #Melbourne bookstore, @readingsbooks, after I’d signed many copies of my @scribepub book on the #warondrugs. #booktour #australia #aussie
  • Wild outside art 🖼 on the side of a building in #Geelong #Victoria #Australia. Spotted before a talk at a big regional library, @geelonglibraries, to discuss my #drugwar @scribepub book. #booktour #vr #art
  • A huge event in #Melbourne this week around my new @scribepub book, ‘Pills, Powder and Smoke: Inside the Bloody War on Drugs’. 600 people attended to hear a variety of speakers from politicians, journalists, lawyers, policy makers, advocates for drug reform to a former head of the federal police. Plus me. Held in the majestic #Melbourne town hall and organized by Drug Policy Australia, the sheer number of people proves yet again that the status quo around illicit drugs must end. There’s a growing call to legalize and regulate drugs. Speakers included @fionapattenmp Greg Barns, Mick Palmer @taniadejongam Jon Faine & Laura Turner.
