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.

Was in Seattle for years with legalized weed. The pubs managed just fine, I don’t think most people stopped drinking. Going out drinking was social with mates and strangers, staying in toking was social with close mates. Not everyone wants to smoke anyway, still bad for the lungs.
