 Sam HIBBINS (Prahran) (09:49): I once again urge the government to implement pill testing here in Victoria. I know this is an issue that is of great concern to many residents in the Prahran electorate, particularly the young people and punters who are heading out to our many nightclubs every weekend. Over summer there was another spate of overdoses. There is the ongoing risk of people taking pills or drugs that contain more dangerous substances that they are not aware of or much higher doses than expected. There have been multiple coroners reports recommending pill testing and a continued weight of evidence that makes it clear that pill testing saves lives.
