The ACT’s bold pill-testing regime

The ACT has always had a liberal approach to drug use. Cannabis was decriminalised in 2020. Today it opens a pill-testing facility in Canberra’s CBD.

Gino Vumbaca is president of Harm Reduction Australia. He and his team are behind the trial of the new facility which runs tests on drugs to make sure they’re safe for the user to take. He says trials at music festivals in recent years have undoubtedly saved lives.

On this episode of the Briefing, the ACT’s bold move to install a pill-testing facility in Canberra’s CBD.

Today's Headlines:

- Damning environment report released
- UK swelters through hottest day on record
- ANZ to take over Suncorp’s banking arm
- ACT to ban petrol car sales
