As a concerned parent and drug policy expert I am urging @IngridStitt to approve and fund drug checking/pill testing as a matter of urgency. Abundant evidence shows it saves lives. Her and other MPs are complicit in drug related deaths while they delay.

A vital step forward. As @imjesswang_ reports a drug checking pilot is launching at Sydney’s Medically Supervised Injecting Centre. Drug testing, including pill testing, saves lives. The NSW Govt must act and introduce drug testing state-wide. #PillTesting news.com.au/lifestyle/health…

Plans to tighten bail laws and introduce new ‘post and boast’ penalties for children in NSW are misguided, and entirely out of step with government priorities to promote community safety and wellbeing.

We join the @ALS_NSWACT, the Coalition of Peaks, and numerous other legal services and organisations in calling on the NSW Labor government not to introduce dangerous new bail laws. These laws will incarcerate more First Nations children, and will not make communities safer.
