lol typical govt, gettin 'advice' while ppl are dropping like flies. just decriminalize already 😐
Maybe if they actually had protections instead of being scared to call for help, we wouldn't have so many deaths. Common sense ffs
Ah yes, let's just make it easier for druggies to OD. Brilliant idea, Labour.
cope. You rather they die in a gutter? Get a grip.
Ghd overdoses are up? big shocker that stuff is nasty. About time they did something.
If it saves lives I'm for it. 'harm reduction' works in other countries, why not here?

Same. Sweden tried the 'tough love' approach and it backfired hard.
Sweden? They decriminalized and had lower rates than us. do your research mate.
Sick of seeing kids die bc they're scared to call an ambulance. Anyone with a heart should support this.
up. A friend's cousin died alone in a park cos they were too scared. It's heartbreaking.
Yeah nah get stuffed. They'll use it as a free pass to shoot up in public areas.
nah that's just scaremongering. Show me proof that happens here.
Politicians waiting for dead bodies to pile up before they move. classic NZ.
facts. they love a good 'review' while people suffer.
