Dear Prime Minister,

I write to bring to your attention, that we have not received any response to our letter date the 10th December 2007. Which raised matters of great public concern. "unnecessary burden on the people of Australia"

Their is growing concerns and unrest with in the community, that the power to protect the people of Victoria is to far removed from the elected Government of Victoria.



I thank you


Yours faithfully

Dear Minister,

Re: Accountability of Government

We acknowledge the correspondence 16 January 2008 Gill Callister on your behalf, which we feel has not addressed the matters in a reasonable or satisfactory manner,

Please find enclosed herewith copies of letters dated:-

8th August 1992 To Health Department Victoria, (2 pages)

4th September 1992 From Health Department Victoria

You will note, a request for any evidence whatsoever that supports Cannabis Prohibition, and questions that need to be addressed, in the best interest of the people of Victoria,

As to clearly illustrate our concerns, and for your convenience, also enclosed a copy of our letters to the former Premier the Hon. Joan Kirner dated:-

13th December 1991, to the Premier to the Hon. Joan Kirner, Which included, Judge Justice Kirby call for a review of Australian Drugs Laws. (ref: Age 2nd December 1991)

17th November, 1991 Premier to the Hon. Joan Kirner, "Marijuana Still a burning Issue."

We appreciate that the Victorian Government has changed several times, and these letters date from the last century, yet the situation remains the same today, Considering the Premiers Drug Advisory, Chairman, David Penington Report, 1996, also the fact we brought to the attention of the Department of Mental Heath (1996) that indoor hydroponics grown cannabis may have a some mental effect on the user.

On your behalf Gill Callister Executive Director Mental Health and Drug Division, letter makes mention of Minister Pike's letter of 7 February 2006 " ..acknowledges the increasing evidence about the potential for cannabis to have physical and psychological outcomes.." Contemplating the years past and the amount of correspondence/ documents we forwarded to the Department, It would be with in reason to assume Gill Callister has relied on our research to support "increasing evidence" a link between cannabis smoking and mental health disorder.

We find it very disturbing, if not misleading, that Gill Callister, offers no critique between organic grown cannabis and hydroponics grown cannabis. It now appears that, The present Victorian Government is knowingly, causing a mental heath risk on the people of Victorian, by failing to reconsider the recommendation 7.1-7.5 of Professor David Penington report.

Intern, more Victorian citizens are forced to use hydroponics grown cannabis. We ask again is there any evidence on hand that supports cannabis prohibition? also Can you let us know if Gill Callister is a member or former member of the Legal Profession?..Conflict of Interest
