Nicholas CowderyFormer NSW director of public prosecutions Nicholas Cowdery joined federal Australian Greens leader Richard Di Natale to call on Australian governments to reconsider treating drug users as criminals. "I am calling on the legalisation, regulation, control and taxation of all drugs," Mr Cowdery said. "It's extremely frustrating to see the criminal justice system brought in to attach criminal records and all of the trauma that goes with it to people that are not criminals and who are not harming society."
