The evidence is in. Pill testing saves lives. 

And with millions of us consuming drugs that aren’t legal every year, it’s time NSW got on with it. We can’t stop people from taking drugs, but we can stop people dying from them. So why aren’t we?

With the ACT, Qld, and Victorian governments all allowing pill testing now, it’s time for NSW to do the same.

And there’s no time to lose if we’re to save lives.

NSW Health has already issued multiple warnings this year of drugs like MDMA, cocaine, ice, and heroin being found cut with extremely dangerous synthetic opioids like Nitazenes which can be up to 500 times stronger than heroin!

People have already died.

That’s why, in August, I brought forward a bill in the NSW Upper House to allow pill testing and I need your help to get it over the line. 

But the government voted it down. 

Despite multiple inquiries, expert evidence, and the fact it’s been proven to work in more than 31 jurisdictions including the UK and New Zealand, Premier Chris Minns and his government continue to have their heads in the sand when it comes to allowing pill testing. 

Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan said she’s introducing drug checking to prevent “every parent’s worst nightmare”. We need to do the same. 

Come on NSW. Let’s save lives. Test the pills.
