Pill Testing

The Hon. AILEEN MacDONALD (14:22:45):

My question without notice is directed to the Minister for Youth. In April this year at the Harm Reduction International conference the Minister called for the legalisation of pill testing at music festivals. Does she stand by her comments and, if so, what actions is she taking as a Minister in the Minns Labor Government to implement this policy?

The Hon. ROSE JACKSON (Minister for Water, Minister for Housing, Minister for Homelessness, Minister for Mental Health, Minister for Youth, and Minister for the North Coast) (14:23:18):

I thank the Hon. Aileen MacDonald for her question. The Premier has outlined the Government's response in relation to all of those matters, which is to hold a comprehensive drug summit. I support the Premier.
