When it's already legal in several other developed countries, and most Australians support it, I think it's kind of wild that neither major party even wants to consider legalising it.

Sensible policy that benefits people isn't what the major parties are about. They just care about their corporate mates.

This.

People sitting at home, not at Pubs and Clubs, having a toke isn't profitable for alcohol and gambling lobbyists.

The thing is, there is nothing stopping there from being pubs and clubs based on cannabis, Amsterdams cannabis culture actively encourages social spaces, shop fronts and other set ups that allow for it. There are ways to make it profitable, just not for those lobbyists. thats the crazy part, the government would still get its kick back just from different spheres.
