Speaker: Dr Patrick Keyzer
About: Opinion surveys demonstrate there is widespread support for decriminalisation and legalisation of adult, recreational cannabis use in Australia. Why hasn’t this happened yet, when most US states have taken steps in this direction? In this lecture, Dr Keyzer will explain why key features of our constitutional, legal and political system are really quite different to the U.S., and how these differences impede reform here.
Bio: Dr Pat is a lawyer and academic specialising in access to justice, constitutional law and human rights. He advocates criminal justice reform.
