"This is one thing [Mr Andrews and I] agree on," Ms Berejiklian said. "We actually believe it could actually cause more deaths, by giving people a false sense of security.NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian rejected accusations she was failing to show leadership on the issue of pill testing.
"We'd be having a very different conversation. And for every person whose life might be saved by pill testing, if that were the case, there could be 10 others that succumb because they're given a false sense of security."to adopt a pill-testing trial and scrap strip-searching after seeing evidence of a number of "panic ingestions" at music festivals, where young people take drugs out of fear of police and sniffer dogs.
natassiazc Why do a Liberal leaders dispute and deny the facts from scientists, doctors, lawyers etc.? ...
natassiazc There’s always going to be someone who acts stupidly in any setting and puts themselves at risk. For the vast majority of pill users, knowing what they are taking and ideally the strength (regulated product like booze) is always going to minimise harm.
natassiazc Self righteous Gladys. So, let’s talk about climate change now...or is still not the time?
natassiazc Lockout laws vs pill testing
natassiazc So death should be the result of a stupid decision. Like when we were young we never did stupid dangerous things. It must be wonderful to be so perfect Gladys.
natassiazc The next Premier to come along in NSW who approves pill testing will be seen as a life-saver not a koala-killer youth-killer like gladysb
natassiazc What’s her expertise based on?
emlafudd natassiazc Wouldn’t be in harm in just a trial, assess the outcome and then decide?
natassiazc The fact of the matter is people are going to use drugs whether there is pill testing or not. If the option is there to make a more educated decision about their usage then it is something that needs to be seriously considered.
natassiazc GladysB she thinks she is still back in Armenia or whatever country she is from. Nanny state and backwards state at its maximum potential!
natassiazc Manufacture & sale of illicit drugs are illegal - Yes? So it is well within the duties of the Premier to oppose any measure that would cause illicit substances to be seen as 'safe for consumption' by anyone, much less by reckless persons who can't enjoy a concert unless doped up.
natassiazc Not only a koallakiller but a people killer too!!
natassiazc Pill testing advocates point out that the procedure saves lives. Maybe the community is not interested in saving the lives of foolish people who put their lives at risk by taking unknown chemical substances. Maybe the Premier knows that it is not a vote winner with the majority.
natassiazc The rest of the community trusts the State Coroner's Court on what would have saved lives. Not a numpty politician.
natassiazc so do these people 'pre load' or are they silly enough to bring illegal drugs with them
natassiazc
natassiazc instant pill testing does not test toxic impurities Drugs r synthesized using solvents n chemicals Often d toxic substance only shows up in LAB testing
natassiazc Oh here she is!
natassiazc Dr Berejiklian?

Man 'critical' after apparent overdose at Ballarat festival, another dies at NSW eventOne man is in hospital and another has died after apparent overdoses at separate music festivals What a pity this poor, deceased young man wasn’t strip searched and his MDMA, GBH, cocaine and whatever else he had found and confiscated. He’d probably be alive. And if you think pill testing would’ve helped, you’re wrong. He wouldn’t have bothered with to test his drugs. 15 people die every day in Australia due to alcohol consumption. Even though these deaths are tragic, why not express outrage about western society’s ignorance? People die of drug overdoses everywhere. Why are music festivals singled out? If he died in a library or in a cinema or in a bar would we point that out?
