    We need to do everything we can to protect the safety of concert goers and people attending music festivals. That is why I have tasked our health, law enforcement and regulatory experts to advise the Government on what can be done immediately to improve safety at these events. pic.twitter.com/NfZcoqsk3P

        Is it possible that those against pill-testing think the occasional death or 2 assists in the "Just Say No" scare campaign? Which, of course, goes against everything we've known about youth since time immemorial.

        You are presuming young people give a toss about govt policy in this area. If they cared, why are they taking drugs? Your ideology is just that. Doesn't help young people who will take drugs with or without your permission. They are already illicit. That is clearly not working.

        So we should just change the law so young people can do anything, because some idiots might already be doing it? Please.

        The law doesn't stop anybody doing anything they want to do, hence drug use continues unabated. Pill-testing doesn't encourage drug use. In fact, people don't take those pills that, when tested, are found to be full of shit.

        Correct. The safe stuff. You don't think that's a better outcome?

        The best outcome is that they don’t take any at all. Right?

        Having guts requires knowing its the right thing to do, and I don't think any conservative politician is going to accept an account of drug use where law and order isn't the sole weapon of choice.

        You gotta wonder if the response would be different if the kids that died were kids of liberal party donors.

        I have a compromise position ... Allow pill and drug quality testing but ensure that the little hut has wall-to-wall photos of dead kids who have taken the exact drugs being tested. Also hand out a free toe tag to every punter that gets their gear tested ... that should do it!

        History repeats. This already happened after the unfortunate death of Anna Wood, a community led initiative was launched called RAVESAFE, which provided information to NSW schools. This is all led to the creation of unharmdotorg in VIC. Knee jerk reactions are draconian.
