Just doing a back of the envelope calculation, according to the Greens figures, at best 2 out of every three people identified by sniffer dogs are not carrying.

These people are then searched. That means that there are 11,333 unnecessary searches being conducted every year in NSW. Say a search takes 2 minutes (that's a figure I just made up out of no where), that 378 wasted police hours, to say noting of the wasted time of innocent people.

Plus I don't imagine that there are many million dollar drug hauls made by police sniffer dogs, I'd say that a lot of the positives would be for a gram of blow.

Just saying.

(Oh, I'd never vote green in a red fit)

You say that though like every second of Police time spent should result in a conviction or something.

Obviously that aint how it works.

It's a number game. Follow the dogs, approach X number of people, get X number of finds. 30% hit rate sounds reasonable to me.

I like her already.


Being a 5 year old, she has absolutely no idea of the implications that go with hunting all of that, but I like her attitude.

She's growing into a smart kid, who's determined to hurry her way to 12 years of age so that she can get her gun license, and go "gun shooting" with me.

My husband said that we'd make a good team, saying it within earshot of said 5yo.

now she's comes to me a says, "when we go shooting, we're gunna be a team mum, and we'll shoot lots of things together".

Such a cutie!

More than enough time to learn the serious aspects of it and the responsibilities.

You can't learn enthusiasm though ;)

She will be taught well, as all of the others here will, but right now, I'm letting her be a kid. Childhood goes too quickly, and is taken from too many kids these days, she gets to have hers for as long as it lasts, I reckon.

In the meantime, we'll continue to educate, and work hard to not crush her enthusiasm :)
