    Antony Loewenstein Retweeted Samantha Ratnam - Leader of the Victorian Greens

    Pill testing is both sensible and logical for harm minimisation and will (inevitably?) be available across #Australia soon. Politicians who stand in the way will be remembered, and condemned #enddrugwarhttps://twitter.com/SamanthaRatnam/status/998355609375330304 …

    Antony Loewenstein added,

    Samantha Ratnam - Leader of the Victorian Greens @SamanthaRatnam
    In 2016 the Greens asked @DanielAndrewsMP to bring in #PillTesting to save lives. He rejected the evidence from Europe, saying "we are not in Europe, we are in Victoria". Well, now we have evidence from Canberra. Will he chose to ignore that too? https://www.theage.com.au/national/evidence-supports-more-pill-testing-20180519-p4zgb3.html … #springst

        Replying to @antloewenstein

        I don't think that many politicians have factored in the digital media cycle and social media into their legacy planning. What used to be positions that could be held for the duration of an elected tenure are now rapidly shifting sands that will result in trashed reputations...

        Only about 2% of youngsters 14+ have taken drugs (except cannabis, about 10%). The overwhelming majority don't and drug use is declining. Why should the stupid 2% be pandered to? Why should their stupid drug taking be facilated and encouraged?

        By your logic, the 'stupid 2%' should just be allowed to take their risks, and die if need be? Cracking parenting advice!

        You're correct in identifying that the parents need more advice.
