133 days have passed since Youth Peer Advocate Daniel joined 77 community & health orgs on the steps of Victorian Parliament urgently calling for pill testing.

Daniel shares why it's critically important not to delay a drug checking pilot any longer. https://t.co/Oga6K1oEnX

@TomisCrowley Ugh, it’s so refreshing to see some vision and imagination! As a renter and former public housing resident without Mum and Dad to bankroll my deposit the Greens new public property developer policy brings some hope to the housing crisis.

[David Jeffery @davidleejeffery]

I’m a Greens member — but tbh no one is doing it like her.

Spoke about the need for more investment in youth-specific early intervention today with @theage @nikkprecel

Young people don’t wake up with the intention of engaging in crime. At the heart of this issue are experiences of trauma which need to be addressed.

@terrimbutler Nobody likes a sore loser.

[David Jeffery @davidleejeffery]

It was incredibly sad, but important, to talk about the need for more investment in early intervention and effective drug and alcohol education in schools with @theprojecttv tonight.

Rest in power, Esra Haynes 💔

[The Project @theprojecttv]

13-year-old Esra Haynes has died as a result of a deadly drug trend called "chroming", but what is it and why are more and more people dying of it?

[David Jeffery @davidleejeffery]

@adampulford ❤️❤️❤️

[Daniel Lopez @NoLuckLopez]

The correct response.

@joshburnsmp Cry me a river, Josh.

Decriminalise drugs. #vicvotes

[David Jeffery @davidleejeffery]

@Ravn_Signe @kellyymackenzie @OgySimic @borlagdanj Loved it & meeting some great aspiring policy-makers ❤️

[Youth Support + Advocacy Service (YSAS) @YSASVic]

We're not anti-drug, we're anti-disadvantage.

Addressing serious disadvantage means:
🏡More housing that people can afford
❤️‍🩹Expanding services, free from stigma
🍃 Changing laws that result in criminal records instead of compassion and care

Let's get it done #VicVotes

Mate. There are 2000 actual threatened species in Victoria. Grown from 700 under your watch since 2014. You’ve spent billions removing levels crossings and just a few million on protecting nature and restoring threatened species. Meanwhile you log native forests.

All households should be able to afford the energy they need for their wellbeing. Here's an op-ed from me on energy stress. We can help those on the edge right now and offer more light at the end of the energy transition tunnel https://t.co/XyTRslaUrS @Brotherhoodinfo @australian

@ShanaeRowick @TenantsVic 🪦

‘Hi David, Goodness, doesn’t time fly?’

What an absolutely demonic way to intro you’re coming to raise the rent.

@TenantsVic #HousingCrisis

[Youth Support + Advocacy Service (YSAS) @YSASVic]

We fixed it for you @theheraldsun

The realisation that a safe injecting service needs additional assertive AOD outreach workers to support people who use drugs using the facility isn't a 'major flaw' it's an opportunity.

Still waiting for my refund @etihad does this mean you’re planning to honour them? 🤞🏼

[David Jeffery @davidleejeffery]
