the bill sounds decent but knowing this govt they’ll probably stuff it up with a million conditions
oh great another bill that just lets dealers off the hook. nice one parliament.
actually this is about saving lives not protecting dealers. read the article lol
not protecting dealers directly but it removes consequences for possession. you think they won’t exploit that?
if it saves one kid from dying in a carpark cos no one called it’s worth it. simple.
good on ya mate. common sense doesn’t live in this country anymore

yeah nah this is just a slippery slope to legalising everything. classic nz just copying whatever aus does.
lol cope with the facts. no one’s legalising meth here
slippery slope argument is so played out. ppl said that about gay marriage and look now none of us turned into sheep shaggers
can't compare gay marriage to hard drugs mate. not the same
tell that to the family who lost someone to a dodgy batch. bill won’t help them.
yeah well what about ppl who already call? this bill just excuses bad behavior
ffs it’s literally just about not being scared to call an ambulance. how is that controversial
nah u just want something to complain about. take the win
classic reddit take from the young ones who think they know everything . get real mate
being older doesn't make u right. get with the times grandad
at the end of the day anyone could end up needing help. let's be humans yeah
