“In principle, unequivocal<br />
yes. In practise, I am not sure<br />
the proposed legislation is<br />
great, and in particular I feel<br />
there’s a big gap insofar as it<br />
is (correctly) making drug<br />
use a mental health issue, but<br />
doesn’t appear to be providing<br />
a corresponding boost to<br />
mental health funding. On<br />
balance, I’m still erring on<br />
the side of yes, but I’m not<br />
convinced it might not lead<br />
to slightly worse outcomes in<br />
the short term, insofar as the<br />
mental health sector will be<br />
flooded,” he said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> poll comes only two<br />
months before New Zealanders<br />

Yes to referendum in online poll<br />

It is believed the fire was<br />
caused by a fan heater which<br />
was left on in Arianna’s room.<br />
Fire investigators are to<br />
speak to the children’s mother<br />
Nicole Mulligan next week.<br />
Mulligan said she had gone<br />
grocery shopping when the fire<br />
started about 10.45pm.<br />
Her partner and Arianna’s<br />
father, Des Cooke, was in the<br />
house when it caught fire. He<br />
escaped the blaze with two other<br />
children who were in the house.<br />
A Givealittle page set up for<br />
the family had raised nearly<br />
$190,000 by late yesterday, and<br />
$7300 in vouchers and $1200<br />
in cash has been raised by<br />
charity NZ Gifts of Love and<br />
Strength.<br />
Gifts of Love and Strength<br />
founder Vicki-Anne Parker,<br />
who has been supporting the<br />
family, said the Givealittle<br />
money would not be given out<br />

<strong>The</strong>rapeutics also found 56<br />
per cent of 1600 respondents<br />
plan to vote yesin the referendum.<br />
<strong>The</strong> referendum at the<br />
<strong>2020</strong> election will ask about<br />
support for a bill that would<br />
include:<br />
• Allowing products to<br />
be bought only in licensed<br />
premises from a licensed and<br />
registered retailer, and banning<br />
online or remote sales.<br />
LOVED: Des<br />
Cooke and<br />
his ninemonth-old<br />
daughter<br />
Arianna.<br />
until a trust fund is set up and<br />
it is decided how the money<br />
will be split between Mulligan<br />
and Cooke.<br />
A lawyer was assisting for<br />
free, she said.<br />
Said Parker: “<strong>The</strong>y are a<br />
family that have come from<br />
• Banning the use of<br />
cannabis publicly, allowing<br />
it only in special, licensed<br />
premises or on private<br />
property.<br />
• Controlling the potency<br />
of cannabis in available<br />
products.<br />
• Introducing a legal<br />
purchase age of 20.<br />
• Banning advertising<br />
of cannabis products, and<br />
requiring products to carry<br />
health messages.<br />
Crowdfunding raises nearly $190,000<br />
very little money and this<br />
money that they’re getting is<br />
there immediately because<br />
they want to protect their<br />
other two children that are<br />
surviving with the money.”<br />
Parker said Mulligan is looking<br />
at using the funds raised<br />
to buy a house with her two<br />
remaining children, Lucas, 6,<br />
and Brianna, 2, who survived<br />
the fire.<br />
Parker said the vouchers<br />
will go towards things like<br />
purchasing items lost in the fire.<br />
