YSAS stands by common sense public health policy to minimise drug related harm and decriminalise small quantities of drugs.

@FionaPattenMLC 'Drug Reform Bill' offers an alternative to the criminal justice system by offering education, treatment and kindness to young Victorians.

[10 News Melbourne @10NewsMelb]

Crossbench MP Fiona Patten says Victoria could turn drug use into a "health issue" if it passes a new bill to decriminalise illicit drugs.

Patten says her legislation takes elements from laws in Portugal that offer users help to beat addiction, rather than jail time. #springst

Today is International Family Drug Support Day. We know that when families are given education, awareness and tips on coping and keeping safe, the outcome for everyone is improved.
This year’s theme is ‘Voices to be Heard’. Here is the voice of a sister.

In #BreakingNews today @AlexHawkeMP granted new 12 month bridging visas for #Murugappan family. But only to 3, leaving little Tharnicaa trapped in community detention for another year & family unable to go #hometobilo in time for Christmas. Cruel. Wrong. Join @HometoBilo campaign

We desperately need more diversity in Australian media, preferably, Indigenous Australians. Some of the commentary is so lacking in insight a blank wall would communicate a more nuanced analysis.

[Adam Bandt @AdamBandt]

It has been a week since we learnt that a cabinet minister has been accused of rape.

Since then, the PM has done nothing. He has dodged questions, avoided accountability & pushed back against an independent investigation.

Not good enough.

[Adam Bandt @AdamBandt]

With his appalling handling of these serious rape allegations, PM is insulting victims & the country.

If PM & A-G won't even read the accusations against Porter, then an independent inquiry must.

Women's statements must be heard & taken seriously.

We need an inquiry.

Today.

[Dr Darren Saunders @whereisdaz]

Some days, when my wife forgets to remind me I have daughters, I can stride confidently through an entire day completely oblivious to the struggles of women around me.

[Adam Bandt @AdamBandt]

You shouldn't need to consult your wife or have daughters to know that women who have been raped should be listened to, believed & supported.

Women aren't "finding themselves in vulnerable situations", Prime Minister.

Men are putting them there.

Exclusive: the image of the PM standing next to sex abuse survivor and #letherspeak campaigner Grace Tame that hardened Brittany Higgins resolve to speak. She says it it made her “sick” https://t.co/GJIdfL3tCc

[Samantha Maiden @samanthamaiden]

Former media adviser Brittany Higgins is now the THIRD Liberal Party staffer to allege she was sexually assaulted by men in the Liberal Party https://t.co/vYIJEpWAGp

[Brizkiwi @grantblair9]

The Brittany Higgins alleged rape took place over Friday night/Saturday morning. Someone in parliament decided the couch in Linda Reynolds office needed steam cleaning, which happened on the Sunday. Who made that decision?

[Tanya Plibersek @tanya_plibersek]

Phenomenally brave interview from Brittany Higgins.
No one should ever be made to feel that reporting such a serious crime could cost them their job.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Good morning 🌞

Lies are not “differences of opinion.”

Have a great day!

[Maker Mayek @MakMayek]

1/1 Akol Maker Deng, a pro basketball player, was profiled, violently assaulted and capsicum sprayed, slammed down on his face, suffering injuries and arrested by ⁦@SAPoliceNews⁩. The police officers racially abused him in custody. Guess what: mistaken identity.

[Dr Nik Kuruvilla @nikethamides]

Trump's 10 year jail time for storming federal buildings is still in effect isn't it?

[Tim Soutphommasane @timsout]

It’s remarkable that the PM declined to criticise Trump. What we saw today was anti-democratic mayhem fomented by the US President. Democratic leaders must condemn it https://t.co/GOabp5RVBm
