Nicholas_Reece It has been reported that the Promoters are making $million$ ... they can pay for all the Pill Testing and Police and Ambos on site ... N P... easy !!! Next?

Nicholas_Reece So 57 leaving festival in Melbourne on weekend tested positive while driving under influence of prohibited substances. What about all the innocent motorists around relying on them being fit to drive and NOT kill someone nopilltesting illegal oxygenthief auspol

Nicholas_Reece It's proof the new generation will not be dictated to by politicians They've unapologetically empowered themselves They're simply letting the MP's believe MP's have power to passively control MP's Smart politcians will start representing their people, not dictate choices

Nicholas_Reece Wouldn’t it be a miracle if the same amount of energy went into prescription testing doctors who over prescribe opioids? Opportunistic pricks.

Nicholas_Reece I think druggies of this era are just taking the piss! It’s almost like they are deliberately baiting the debate! Absolutely no sensible debate at all. It’s all everyone else’s fault except the idiots shoving pills down their throats.

Nicholas_Reece Labor would prefer all their followers to be stones, it’s easier to control them.

Nicholas_Reece Reece must be a drug pusher and to defend the Labor Party's Get up Party funding he is the fool

Nicholas_Reece I think what we are doing is working. I think there would be 100's more deaths if we stop doing it.

Nicholas_Reece The very presence of pill testers says : this drug is potentially deadly. Certainly that is a strong message to send?

Nicholas_Reece Wasting your time and energy

Nicholas_Reece Pill testing is a good start .. Its like 'legalization... so it has to be considered . Consult also with the users Get a heads up

Australian house prices slump, with Sydney recording steepest drop in a decade | Sky News AustraliaAustralian house prices have slumped, dropping 6.5 per cent in 2018. \n\nEconomists say the drop is due to the restricted access to credit with banks being forced to tighten lending standards and slow loan applications. \n\nSydney recorded its steepest drop in a decade last year, with the average house price now sitting at $1.06 million and $702,000 for units. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n So it’s where it should be. In a market with very high transaction costs if prices are falling and you only have one swing at it then you are going to not buy until you think the market has bottomed.

Canberra to take out Sydney as most expensive city for renters | Sky News AustraliaSydney is set to no longer be the most expensive city in Australia for renters as rising property supply forces more landlords to slash rates.\n\nRecent rental figures from property data analysts CoreLogic indicate Canberra is likely to take the title, with the city's rental growth rates up 5.5 per cent over the past 12 months, while Sydney's have fallen by 3 per cent.\n\nCameron Kusher from CoreLogic says it is a good time for Sydney renters to talk to property managers or landlords about 'getting a better price'.\n\n\n\n\n TheCalebBond ‘People don’t go there for any other reason than employment’ That’s not remotely accurate. I know you live in a bubble but you do realise many people move to Canberra as they age from regional NSW due to better services. TheCalebBond So kinda like the ones in Sydney that were built by bypassing regular inspections and are now falling apart? WTF does it being a city made to “service government” have to do with building codes?
