THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED IN PARLIAMENT TODAY Ms Giddings to move—That the House:— (1) Notes:— (a) the agreement by all States and Territories to support a trial of medicinal cannabis across Australia; (b) Premier’s Baird and Napthine’s announcements on 13 October 2014 for medical trials of medicinal cannabis to be led by both States, with preparations for a trial to begin in 2015 now underway; and (c) the lukewarm response from the Health Minister Michael Ferguson who, in his press release of the 13 October 2014, refused to even use the word trial instead referring to agreement to share information with other States. (2) Urges the Minister for Health Hon Michael Ferguson MP to show some leadership on the issue of medicinal cannabis to ensure that the trial:— (a) covers a wide range of medical conditions; (b) covers a large number of people, including children with epilepsy across Tasmania and the nation; and (c) includes Tasmanian farmers who can safely grow cannabis for the trial.
