Important:

This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament

Rejected petition Ban alcohol and drug use prior to MPs sitting in parliamentary session.

Members of parliament should not be permitted to consume alcohol/indulge in drug taking before sitting in parliament to debate or vote on an issue. This would be a sackable offence in any other line of work and with the responsibility of the country's welfare on their shoulders MPs must follow suit.
