Don't want to get too much into mud slinging here but in regards to all of this, it's hard to deny there's more than a few 'pot stars' who used their MMAR in a childish manner while telling the world how they had a 'federal exemption'. Which is fine, morally I think it's shitty and put the rest of the patients (or 'legit' patients if you want to look at it that way) under a microscope.
However, I think all people really want beyond the rhetoric is some transparency here. If Wilcox / others went to Jamaica etc on their own money? Great, good for them. If it was on coalition money? That's no different than MP's booking a vacation to aruba on taxpayer money.
I always wondered why the coalition didn't set up a Patreon / kickstarter / whatever. It's a far more accessible crowdfunding platform than paypal + lockboxes + send money to Conroy's office.
