The Nimbin POLITE SQUAD was created in response to the Police Riot Squad raids on April Fools Day 2008 on the HEMP Bar and Nimbin Museum.

This year’s MardiGrass Polite recruitment drive is looking for more overalls and bodies to fill them, and for the first time our new division, the Polite Undercover Surveillance Squad (PUSS) is taking enrolments and there are unlimited vacancies left. Bring a camera if you have one and a mobile phone for Undercover Polite work.

During the big weekend, Nimbin POLITE will document all civil liberty complaints and also witness the behaviour of law enforcement. New ‘Undercover Operatives’ will be trained to mingle with the crowd and detect suspicious activities! Watch out for a MardiGrass warm up at the now annual April Fools Day Polite Raids.

POLITE Missions have taken the BIG JOINT to Sydney and Canberra to meet Obama. They’ve certainly made their presence felt from the HEMP BAR-POLITE BUREAU attached to the Embassy.

As ambassadors for cannabis law reform and advocates of medicinal cannabis, the POLITE will champion the cause again at this years’ Rally, carrying the parade flagship BIG JOINT at 2.30pm on MardiGrass Sunday.
