DASSA Disgrace - Chronic Pain Patients Suffer

Once again, drug hysteria has reared it's ugly head and the victims this time are those who suffer chronic pain. All thanks to he South Australian government.

The SA government is arguing that the risk of addiction is more important than providing appropriate medication to those who suffer from chronic pain. Typical of the hysterical Rann government and their insatiable desire to be seen as "Tough on Drugs". When you're in agonising pain and considering suicide, I'm sure that drug dependancy is the last thing on your mind.

For bureaucrats, politicians and government appointed researchers, chronic pain is just a series of words on a page but being labelled "Soft on Drugs" is a potential loss of employment or worse, voters.
