CHEAP SHOTS

Itis appalling that various political parties are using heroin issues to
score cheap political points. Particularly distasteful are adverts
extensively being aired in Sydney from a poiltical group called Australians
for a Fair Go featuring actors playing grieving parents and grandparents.

As families directly affected by heroin in the most tragic ways, we would
welcome positive statements about constructive initiatives to deal with the
problems and not these offensive cheap shots.
