TELEVISION JUDGE JUDY SHEINDLIN VISITS BRISBANE

The debate about needle supply to heroin addicts is an indulgence lead by
"liberal morons", according to America's most popular television judge.

No point talking about how best to approach the problem since the solution
is simple, said "Judge Judy" Sheindlin during her lunch time speech yesterday.

"Give 'em dirty needles and let 'em die," she said.

The audience at Brisbane's Carlton Crest breathed a collective "yes" and a
cheer went up around the room.

The fast talking Brooklyn-born dynamo is touring her forthright opinions
around the country to promote her book, 'Beauty Fades, Dumb is Forever'.

"I don't understand why we think it's important to keep them alive," she said.
