"Drugs, pornography and bicycle helmets under Senate microscope as David Leyonhjelm's "nanny state" inquiry begins

By political reporter James Glenday

The rationale behind bicycle helmets, marijuana laws, film classifications and possibly even pool fences will be examined by the Senate starting today, as part of an inquiry into the Australian "nanny state".

The "personal choice and community impacts" inquiry, which was instigated by Liberal Democrat David Leyonhjelm, has attracted a wide array of submissions from people who feel the Government is intruding into their lives.

Raw milk enthusiasts want health laws wound back, paintball businesses would like fewer regulations governing their sport and convenience stores are demanding a greater say on issues like the sale of lottery tickets.

"What I want to do is go back to the way Australians used to be," Senator Leyonhjelm said.

"I want to change this culture that the government is there to protect us from poor choices."

The inquiry's priority will be bicycle helmets, alcohol laws, marijuana and tobacco sales and the classification of publications, films and computer games.

In particular, Senator Leyonhjelm said he wanted to investigate whether alcohol lock-out laws in "Sydney's naughty suburb of Kings Cross" are actually working.

"Here we're a bunch of anal-retentives," he said.

"I'm the only parliamentarian in the Federal Parliament who calls for recreational marijuana use.

"Why do we insist the Government knows best when it comes to smoking dope?"

There will be a "catch-all hearing" at the end of the inquiry, where Senator Leyonhjelm expects "pressure" to examine the rationale behind pool fences, before a final report is issued in June next year.

"The argument [against pool fences] is parents are responsible for their children and the Government is taking that responsibility away from them," he said.

'One of the Senate's more interesting debates'

Up and coming Labor Senator Sam Dastyari has agreed to be the inquiry's deputy chair because he said it would "provoke a fascinating moral debate".

"This is probably going to be Australia's largest ever inquiry into vice," Senator Dastyari said.

He said the issues being examined range from "reasonable to ridiculous" but declared Australians who "hold majority views" should always be prepared to "justify the case for regulation".

"Pornography, cigarettes, marijuana - I don't know if you've been watching the Senate, but this is probably one of the more interesting debates," he said.

"I'm really interested in the sale and service of alcohol. What are the economic and social consequences?"

Some of Senator Dastyari's colleagues believe he is simply supporting the inquiry to build a close relationship with Senator Leyonhjelm, a key crossbencher, in case Labor wins power at the next election.

"That's not the case. I won't agree with [senator Leyonhjelm] on lots of things," he said.

"Ideology has just been dead in Australia for too long. Let's actually have some big debates, let's have some different views."

Cigarette companies have urged senators to recommend winding back tobacco regulation, while health groups have implored the public to take the inquiry seriously.

"Some might call it the 'nanny state' but all the health protections we've had in place for many, many years could go out the window if we're not careful," Michael Moore from the Public Health Association of Australia said.

Mr Moore will this morning urge the inquiry to "look very carefully at the independent evidence" before making any recommendations to change existing laws.

"This is an election bid for Senator Leyonhjelm, not a civil liberties one," Mr Moore said.

"By running these things like [the] nanny state or wanting more guns available, there is a small portion of people who will support him. That'll get him re-elected." "
