Controversial conservative senator Cory Bernadi has been accused by one of his colleagues of having an "obsession" with gay people.

"He's obviously got an obsession with people that are gay," Mr Entsch told Fairfax. "It worries me. "You've really got to watch out for those that have these obsessions. He who protests the loudest..."

Damn it seems Bernardi doesn't use twitter any more

I wanted him to reply and get into a conversation with me.

Apparently CBD is effective at treating certain people with epilepsy. In the docuementary series Weed Country one of the strory lines if related to a non-responsive epileptic child who was having dozens of seizures every week. One of the medicinal cannabis growers developed an isolated CBD tincture which had astounding results.

I think Cannabis like many pharmaceuticals won't work for everyone or the side effects will be worse than the affliction being treated but there is enough evidence to justify a strict medicinal trial in Australia.

And I agree, it's funny Qld started adding it when a lot of the world started removing it, once again Qld being behind the times.

Ah QLD, the place where Campbell Newman annulled all civil unions..

Time to grant them independence IMO.

Yeah, take all the Queenslanders out of the Australian team and you'd have a real battle with England for the second ranked team. (Third ranked if Queensland became a nation)

[Dr Zaius]

What an idiot. Does he know the amount of planning and scrutiny that goes into therapeutic trials. The government doesn't just announce "it's doing a trial". What a **** ****.

[The Nickman]

What are your thoughts on fluroide, Dr Z??

[Dr Zaius]

Fluoride is second only to vaccination as our greatest ever public health initiative. The fact that it took Queensland 30 years longer than the civilised world to implement a program, a program that they are now trying to dismantle to penny pinch indicates how backward a state it is.

[The Nickman]

I actually asked about fluroide, NOT fluoride, Doctor Jerk.

[Dr Zaius]

I just assumed that you can't spekl

[Dr Zaius]

I just assumed that you can't spekl

Oh that's ironic

[The Nickman]

The ironing really is delicious.

haha i was thinking that myself, fluoride has proven itself to have been an exceptionally successful public health policy, has saved christ knows how much money... what is **** wrong with QLD that it took them 30 years to get on board?

Battlers

[Manbush]

Why even bother with a trial, it's already available medicinally around the world.

[The Nickman]

I'm assuming Dr Zauis means he wants to trial it himself.

Fun fact, Lithgow only implemented fluoride into their drinking water last year (year before?). Says A LOT about Lithgow, can't we just ship it QLD where it belongs?

I wouldn't dispute it being classified as a part of Queensland. Easily the biggest redneck town I've been to in NSW.

[Nick]

What

[Dr Zaius]

Fixed, sorry Raider Azz

[The Nickman]

Forget your medication today, Dr Zaius??

Considering the vast majority of Europe has either rejected it or had it removed I don't think it's that clear cut

I'm assuming that was aimed at Raider Azz

Is Australia's testing going to find other results than other countries? It's one of the worlds oldest medicines with proven medicinal uses and I'm guessing less negative side effects than 90% (being generous) of what you'd prescribe on a daily basis.

[The Nickman]

Personally I wouldn't trust anything Dr Zaius prescribed me.

I'd take it, but I wouldn't trust it

Yeah, yeah. They need to remove fluoride and stop those chemtrails.
