Extra paramedics stationed at NSW music festivals | Sky News Australia

Festival organisers should foot the bill not tax payers Dragging resources from the sick for political point scoring Already a shortage of ambulances lined up in hospital corridors GladysB JohnRuddick2

Drugs at your own risk. Die at your own risk. Couldn't be simpler.

It is a no win situation. Party goers will take more risks if they know medics are ready to help quickly. Someday, some where, safe party drugs will be legalised.

MarkWEccleston how about we also scan 'partygoers' ID and those with past drug offences are banned from entry and randomised body and bag searches to find MDMA and other illegal drugs on those who wish to deal those drugs are caught pilltesting nswpol auspol

Newwayofdoing Yeahhhh take the poison out instead of checking for poison and maybe preventing the poisoning in the first place! 🙄 People like drugs..

But Milo and conservatives have to pay big bucks for cops to protect their legal lectures from unhinged, looney lefties. This is hypocrisy at its best.

There will always be some people that choose illegal drugs, no matter what precautions. Let their natural selection be.

O/s, hospitalisations reduced with events that had drug / PillTesting. Throwing money at paramedics that won't prevent, seems irresponsible. Sniffer dogs also a waste. Blanket prohibition policy also is a problem, only 'problematic' use of anything shld be of concern.

Well I suppose it is a good thing real medical emergencies don't need to be attended. Sending highly qualified paramedics to baby sit so called young adults in case they decide to take illegal drugs makes sense.

Nanny state.😀

Why can’t these young people get high on life’s experiences and get happy and be funny, read good books,go to festivals and the theatre.look up.Instead of putting something in their mouth that could be the last thing they do on earth 🌍

If anyone dies it will be because of the use of multiple pills that would not kill if they took a single MDMA pill.

Keep the cops away from the medical tents and have security guards, if I was a kid tripping off my tits and went to get help and saw a wall off cops I wouldn’t enter either.

Why paramedics? Send extra police instead. Guarantee you no-one drops a tab then.

Paramedics are like shutting the stable doors after the horse has bolted. Drug testing makes so much more sense. Take the damn moralising out of the drugs issue, and treat it with commonsense.

how about we just part several funeral cars out front with coffins in the back instead?....let them die,

Try not taking the drugs...

So long as event organisers are footing the bill then I see no issue with this
