Did they say 'get advice'? That's the most useful thing this govt has done all year 🙄

Casey Adams2026-06-30T01:32:47.000Z

ffs mate, people are dying from overdoses and you want to debate about legal protections? just do it

Alex Rivera2026-06-30T01:41:47.000Z

Honestly about time. These protections save lives. Someone call an ambulance without fear jeez

Chloe Martin2026-06-30T02:05:47.000Z

mate, you're wrong. It sends the wrong message.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-30T02:26:47.000Z

Exactly. People don't get that until it's their family.

Chloe Martin2026-06-30T01:52:47.000Z

What a load of shit. This just encourages drug use. They should be arrested not protected.

Work in a pharmacy. Seen too many GHD overdoses. This is the right move. But watch the funding get cut lol

cope. Harm reduction works. Look at Portugal.

Yeah nah, 'get advice' is code for 'kick the can down the road'. Typical.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-30T02:34:47.000Z

My neighbour's kid OD'd last year. If this stops one more family going through that, I'm all for it.

River Cole2026-06-30T03:30:47.000Z

the can down the road as usual.

Luca Reid2026-06-30T02:47:47.000Z

Anyone else think the Drug Foundation boss is just trying to stay relevant?

Finn Walker2026-06-30T02:57:47.000Z

Shame it's taken this long. Should be a no-brainer. But hey, politics.

Alex Rivera2026-06-30T03:36:47.000Z

relevant? Mate, they're actually out there saving lives.
