Victoria's pill testing plan
from The Daily Aus · host The Daily Aus
Victoria will roll out its first pill test at a music festival this summer. 35,000 people attending Beyond the Valley will have access to the drug-checking service for the first time, as part of the state government’s plans to conduct more trials across Victoria. Health experts and youth support workers will be stationed at the pop-up pill testing site to analyse drug samples and give advice to young festival-goers. In today’s deep dive, you’ll hear our chat with Victoria’s Premier Jacinta Allan on the state’s lift-off of pill testing, and why she changed her mind on drug harm minimisation.
