Prime Minister, John Howard reply 13/03/06

In Reply to our letter 27/02/06 Australian Government Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet on the 13 March 2006 wrote

Dear Mr McDonald

Thank you for your correspondence of 27 February 2006 to the Prime Minister regarding your views on legalising marijuana. I have been asked to reply on the Prime Minister's behalf.

The Australian Government does not have the jurisdiction to deal with this matter; it is the responsibility of the Victorian Government. I have therefore forwarded your correspondence to the Victorians Premier's department for attention.

Yours sincerely

Signed

Ministerial Officer
