WA’s Untapped Potential: Industrial Hemp 2024 (Full Debate)

🎉 A Victory for WA Farmers and the Environment! 🌱
We've had a significant win!
On behalf of farmers, manufacturers and environmentalists across WA, I thank the Cook Government and my fellow crossbench members for supporting my motion in the Legislative Council, calling for a review of our industrial hemp legislation and regulation, to make it easier to grow a healthy and healing plant that has the potential to benefit us all!
We had an open and healthy debate, and I hope that the outcome will be less red-tape, less stigma, and considerably more acceptance of a crop which stands to deliver billions of dollars for the WA economy each and every year.
We still have many hurdles in our way when it comes to legalising cannabis more broadly, but today has certainly been a good day! Full debate here!
Industrial hemp could be the game-changer WA's economy needs. With its massive potential to become a multibillion-dollar industry, this sustainable crop offers numerous environmental and economic benefits. From boosting trade in hemp-based products to producing valuable cannabidiol, industrial hemp is paving the way for WA's agricultural future. But with outdated regulations holding back its growth, it's time to explore the possibilities. Discover how revisiting state laws and encouraging government support could turn industrial hemp into a major economic driver for Western Australia. Let's dive into the facts and potential of this versatile crop.

A great result Brian 👏 from all the hemp growers around Australia, we praise you for your efforts to 'free the plant' A refreshing hearing with positive open discussion on the possibilities this industry can become. Hemp plastic, hemp fibreglass, hemp graphene in batteries are already proven sustainable technologies WA can be world leaders in. Let's do this for humanity 🌏
