Stoked that my book, Policing Nightlife: Security, Transgression and Urban Order is soon to be released in paperback at a much more affordable price point. A deep dive into the history of drinking and it’s policing in Sydney. Pls RT. Pre-order a copy now: https://t.co/AdhTUdAaJh

Brilliantly said, @VolpeIsabelle !

[Drug Policy Modelling Program (DPMP), UNSW @DrugPolicy_DPMP]

Our imagination of how to govern the safety of young people and drugs is limited by thinking of safety as all-or-nothing. Drawing inspo from policy areas where safety can be made ‘relative’ (reducing risk/harm) opens up opportunities to make them *safer*. @VolpeIsabelle

[Phillip Wadds @phillipwadds]

It details the benefits of peer-based interventions for decreasing harms & improving nightlife safety, including by filling a critical care gap in the NTE, deescalating conflict & preventing criminalisation, & triaging /facilitating the provision of higher level medical support

[Phillip Wadds @phillipwadds]

In case anyone is still on this site: very happy our latest piece on key stakeholder and program user perspectives regarding a peer-based nightlife safe space/ roving ambassador program has been published open access.

@snappyalligator @RosemaryLHill Bummer!

[Phillip Wadds @phillipwadds]

@snappyalligator @RosemaryLHill Looks great. Anything recorded?

[Juan Tauri @jtaur1]

Coming to a bookstore (or more likely online!) near you soon..... if you Uni still has one, of course :-)

@drdavemcdonald @UniMelb @NTEUUniMelb ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼 (and all the best for a speedy recovery)

[Phillip Wadds @phillipwadds]

Really enjoyed this chat with @24hournation about the need to consider the way policies and interventions interact in #nightlife settings to ensure we deliver more connected #harmreduction systems. Ps. harm reduction does not look to stop use (a comment edited out).

[24HourNation @24hournation]

Here's an opportunity to rethink how we go about creating safe spaces inside and outside of nightlife businesses and venues.

Just dropped, our latest podcast with Dr. @phillipwadds has us rethinking the term "harm reduction." Listen up: https://t.co/2G2Lw8ILMB

[Phillip Wadds @phillipwadds]

What a great day of stakeholder engagement! This really is the most rewarding part of my job - delivering 15 years of research to a forum of people from across ACT Government responsible for designing and implementing nightlife policy

@sophiehindes @snappyalligator Love this! 👏🏼

Why we dance. Why misogyny is a nighttime monster. How Belfast has risen in the night. And what we can learn from New South Wales' responsible service of alcohol law.

My co-worker was not happy about my 10am meeting…

[Phillip Wadds @phillipwadds]

I’m excited to be speaking alongside thought leaders from around the world. The agenda is jam-packed, so looking forward to sharing ideas and innovations around the best global night-time economy initiatives at the NEON forum #NEONSYDNEY2023

Canberra Marathon ✅
Busted foot at 18km & it rained for the entire 42, but got there! There really aren’t words enough to thank Shell, the kids, mum, dad & the Southside crew for getting me through this. Shell has put up with long hours with the kids so I can do stupid things

[Phillip Wadds @phillipwadds]

A massive thank you to everyone who has already generously donated, but if anyone else would like to jump on, here is the link: https://t.co/Alym1CdYzP

🧵Tomorrow is Run2Cure, an event very dear to my family. It raises funds for Neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer my nephew, one of the great inspirations in my life, had aged 3. Below is a picture of Wesley running the event last year, aged 8. 1/2

[Phillip Wadds @phillipwadds]

We know how lucky we are to be able to run with Wesley, but many others are not as fortunate with this cancer-aggressive Neuroblastoma has a survival rate of 1 in 2. Tomorrow I am running 10km in support of this charity & backing this up with the Canberra Marathon (April 16) 2/3

[Phillip Wadds @phillipwadds]

@TPassenger1 There are some good new policy initiatives to protect against sound/noise complaint that will hopefully pave the path to sorting some of this.

[Phillip Wadds @phillipwadds]

Sydney & NSW have made major strides in revitalizing nightlife after a period of sustained regulation completely floored our urban night-time economy. To keep the momentum going we need thoughtful, evidence-based policy. This sounds like a good start https://t.co/X17UVa9psp
