If we are going to get tough with concert promoters and pills then the same should apply to Premiers, Prime Ministers and Opposition Leaders. CEOs take the heat for indiscretions so should these Leaders !

The police have no option but to lay charges.

Really. So you partied at Uni. Big deal. Your not getting abused because youve gone public. Remember the discrimination by society over simple experimentation?

so a person who has used illegal drugs advocating for the testing and use of illegal drugs, shock.

Good on her for being honest. Fact is many of the responsible adults you see around you have taken drugs in the past. Doesn’t affect how we do our job now or make us terrible people. Trying things out is part of being human.

Here’s the real situation summary. Just don’t take those damn pills and you’ll stay alive and enjoy your event and get to live. But take those illegal pills, you risk death. There are consequences for your choices.

The time has come to randomly drug test politicians.

She should resign. Terrible example to set for the community.

Extreme bravery leads to vulnerability. I appreciate her honesty

Such a dismal world we live in where you have to take dangerous drugs to be happy. She refused to answer if she used MDMA as anMP. Surely we don't need to start random drug testing of politicians? Let's hope there is a zero tolerance in parliament as there is in most work places.

Shock! Horror! She's a Green.

'It's all about controlling students': researchers slam popular appIt's used in more than half of Australian primary schools. But now the popular service is under scrutiny and being compared to China's controversial social credit system They use it here in our US school district with our son. We call it class-snitch. It will breed perfect compliance when under surveillance and total psychopathy otherwise. An app to communicate sensitive issues with parents? Sounds like a Black Mirror episode. Do the teachers also get penalised and rewarded? Are the schools who use it getting kickbacks from the app company for collecting info on your child? Take your child out of the school.
