Preliminary results from the New Zealand referendum on cannabis legalisation indicate strong opposition to the reform.
The results show just over half (53%) of voters rejected proposed changes which would have allowed the legal possession and sale of cannabis products, compared to 46% in favour.
Does this strong opposition by New Zealanders indicate cannabis reforms are likely to fail in Australia?

This year for the first time, the National Drug Strategy Household Survey indicated more Australians support cannabis legalisation (41%) than oppose it (37%). This is almost double the level of support from 2007, indicating a rapid change in public opinion.
