Father of Sydney overdose victim rallies against pill testing | Sky News Australia

Wise man - drugs kill.

With education on the effects of drugs your daughter would still be alive. If her friends weren't scared to call an ambulance your daughter would still be alive. If you and your wife hadn't spent 23yrs opposing harm minimisation a lot of kids would be alive.

LyleShelton She died because medical treatment was avoided. Current drug prohibition counters this harm reduction strategy.

LyleShelton Poor man about to feel the wrath of the tolerant Left

WHY TRUST A DEALER? Test it before you ingest it:

SCMarshall130 It's not just additives that are dangerous. The active ingredients of the drugs are not as safe as panadol. Kinda why it's not permitted.

So if there was pill testing she would have died anyways?

People are still being lost after 24 years. Is the current system working?

He's right. Testing or no testing it must be accepted that similar numbers are going to die. The dead ones will be the ones weaker than their druggie peers.

Hey remember when alcohol was made illegal and everyone stopped using it? Yeah, me neither. Prohibition increases harm, fuels organised crime and denies users the means to deal with addiction by moralising their behaviour instead of treating it as a health issue.

His daughter died. He is entitled to say what he wants. He doesn’t want to be associated with pill testing. He doesn’t want to be the face of it. Give him a break.

Don’t do drugs kids there to many other things trying to get you and if you do it’s on you knowone else

We agree.

Well now he has no daughter, he doesn't care about anyone else. He's happy just for people to die because his Anna did. I've had more of my family & friends die from alcohol but I would NEVER advocate for alcohol not to be tested or to be banned. What is this bloke doing?

If illicit drug use had been decriminalised, Anna Wood, and thousands of other young Australians, would still be alive...

bradesposito 'Rallies' seems like poor word choice for this headline. This is one man. Perhaps 'rails' is the word you want. Or maybe just 'is'?

'Although the ‘harm reduction’ argument is noted, equally, the many unknown and potentially unidentifia- ble factors that could cause mortality are noted. On-site testing will thus not solve this problem and could lead to other problems...' Internal Medicine Journal RACP 2016

Poor man - liberal “culture” and degeneracy is to blame. This NEVER happened 30 years ago.

bradesposito Does it still count as a 'rally' if you are the only one there?

Any response from drkerrynphelps RichardDeNatale Hyphen-Hanson (blocker) or Cate the druggy?

Bet he stood over her deathbed saying she had it coming. She didn't say no, right!?
