It was a pleasure to be interviewed by @abcnews as part of this. 'Tough love' doesn't not work with people who use drugs and it is not trauma-informed. Have a look at what is:

Synthetic opioids are not a potential threat for Australia, they are already here! Comprehensive reform is urgently needed: more harm reduction and an end to the black market! See @harmreductionau statement here... https://t.co/L1o8g3efry

‘Until we can access a safer regulated supply, we can advocate to drug checking and for it to be responsive and adaptive to community first and foremost’
@HRV_Aust @FirstSteptweets

[Chloe Span 💸💎 @ChloeSpan]

‘Fentanyl has almost entirely replaced heroin in the North American drug market. Peer-based safer supply models are being used to successfully avoid overdoses’
@HRV_Aust @FirstSteptweets

‘Drug checking can be used for serve all members of the community.’
@HRV_Aust @FirstSteptweets

[Chloe Span 💸💎 @ChloeSpan]

‘Drug checking reduces harm and gives people the opportunity for safer drug use. Regardless how effective it is, a great deal of advocacy continues to consume many hours of those pushing for this to happen’
@Annie_Madden_ @FirstSteptweets

[Chloe Span 💸💎 @ChloeSpan]

‘Generally speaking, people who go to festivals can afford the ticket, food, camping and the drugs on top. So, festival drug checking has a very limited reach arguably to a more privileged group in the community.’
@Annie_Madden_ @FirstSteptweets

[Chloe Span 💸💎 @ChloeSpan]

‘Does drug checking just keep us trapped in minimising the harms of illicit drug use without challenging the broader political issues such as, why is there an illicit drug market in the first place and what can be done to end it?’
@Annie_Madden_ @FirstSteptweets

[Chloe Span 💸💎 @ChloeSpan]

‘I want a drug checking model that is accessible to everybody and anybody who wants it, which is not just festivals.’
@monicabarratt @FirstSteptweets

[Chloe Span 💸💎 @ChloeSpan]

‘There has been an explosion of drug checking in North America and that has nothing to do with festivals, but everything to do with the fentanyl crisis’
@monicabarratt @FirstSteptweets

[Chloe Span 💸💎 @ChloeSpan]

‘drug checking is NOT just for festivals ... to have checking only at festivals isn’t aligned with harm reduction principles’ @monicabarratt @FirstSteptweets

[Chloe Span 💸💎 @ChloeSpan]

Looking forward to this discussion hosted by @FirstSteptweets & @PatrickLawr (thank you) into: is drug checking just for festivals? Excellent panellists @harmreductionau @Annie_Madden_ @WeAreTheLoopAU
@monicabarratt @HRV_Aust & Sione Crawford.
