⚠️ NSW’S SECRET ROADSIDE DRUG TEST LIMIT EXPOSED

NSW Roads Minister Jenny Aitchison has revealed police told her roadside cannabis tests are set at 50 ng/mL of THC in saliva, a figure NSW Police have previously refused to make public.

But Transport for NSW says the lab threshold used to prosecute drivers is just 10 ng/mL, five times lower. Officials also admitted the roadside device can detect THC below 50 ng/mL, raising questions over what level actually triggers a positive test.

Police Minister Yasmin Catley is due to face Budget Estimates on Friday, where she is expected to be questioned over the conflicting figures.

🚨 PAULINE HANSON TAKES SECTION 18C FREE SPEECH FIGHT TO HIGH COURT

Pauline Hanson has formally asked the High Court to hear her challenge to Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act after losing her appeal over a 2022 tweet telling Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi to “piss off back to Pakistan”.

Hanson argues Australians should not be dragged through the courts for political speech simply because it may “offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate” someone based on race or ethnicity.

If the High Court agrees to hear the case, it could become one of the biggest tests of free speech under Australia’s racial discrimination laws in years.

⚠️ VICTORIAN LABOR MOVES TO LET POLICE ACCESS BANK RECORDS WITHOUT A WARRANT

Victorian Labor has introduced last-minute amendments that would let police obtain a person’s financial records without first getting a judicial warrant, and without notifying the account holder.

The power would apply to any suspected indictable offence, not just organised crime. Community legal groups say the change removes an important independent safeguard and are calling for the amendments to be withdrawn.
