Malcolm James Washer (born 12 August 1945), Australian politician,[1] was a Liberal member of the Australian House of Representatives from October 1998 to August 2013, representing the Division of Moore, Western Australia.
The group was set up in 1993 after a meeting in Canberra convened by Michael Moore (ACT Assembly) and Ann Symonds (MLC, NSW).
[6] In March 2014, Washer announced his resignation as chair of the Alcohol and Other Drug Council of Australia.
He said the reason was the "ill-informed" decision of Assistant Health Minister Fiona Nash to cut the organisation's funding without notice, noting that her decision was "a bloody tragedy" which "wasn't subject to any review ... it was dumb advising dumber, and dumb won.
"[7] As at January 2018, Washer was chair of ASX-listed AusCann, a medical cannabis company.
