ABC Four Corners report “Dying to Dance”, By Caro Meldrum-Hanna and Jaya Balendra. Aired 15 February 2016.
The experts agree we need to bring in pill testing to save lives!
Dr Alex Wodak – President, Australian Drug Law Reform Foundation & Director, Alcohol and Drug Service, St Vincent’s Hospital
“When you look at the arguments authorities trot out for why they can’t have- allow pill testing in Australia, they are so weak.”
Greg Denham – Former Officer, Drugs Strategy Unit, Victoria Police
“Is the amount of money that we’re putting into law enforcement to deal with the drug issue working? In my opinion: no, I don’t think it is.”
Dr David Caldicott – ANU College of Medicine, Biology & Environment
“So what it does is, by presenting consumers with simple facts about what’s in their substance, we can engage in a discussion that is based on the science of the hazards, rather than the morality of the hazards of their behaviour.”
Nicholas Cowdery – Former NSW Director of Public Prosecutions
“Australia should introduce drug checking, as I would call it, at all public events where it is highly likely that people are going to be bringing drugs.”
Mick Palmer – Former AFP Commissioner
“I think it makes absolute sense to, to try to test the quality of the drugs that people are taking.”
