Evidence from expert also is that pill testing though legitimises and encourages drug use
eVEN IF PIlls are clean in testing terms there is no knowledge that it won't have an adverse affect on someone which can also result in their harm. Hence the same adverse result could be achieved.

I mean the same thing can happen from prescription medications. Not really an argument.
The difference is though that there is a lot more testing and rules around prescription medications though. There are also actual examples of experts showing the issues with pill testing and also explaining why it is not as successful or great as everyone saying it is.
‘It’s just assumed it’s 100%’: The toxicology of pill testing
A second pill testing trial held over the weekend has been deemed a success by its organisers, but toxicologists maintain strong concerns about the process.

Or they could not take drugs...
What happens if they test them, no issues then people still die? In modern society, they'll probably sue the government...

There will always be limitations with pill testing. Everyone is going to have a different reaction to any medication or drug regardless of how rigorously tested it is or it's legality. But it's ridiculous that we aren't at least having a trial program to see the results.The difference is though that there is a lot more testing and rules around prescription medications though.

'This is peak NSW': CBD streets closed after new Sydney tram breaks down
A tram has broken down during testing on George Street in the CBD, blocking two major roads.
What relevance has this even got to this thread other than political point scoring? Should I bring up the fact that the new trains Andrews promised have been delayed over a year due to similar issues along with others?NSW public transit going great I see.

The Andrews government has presided over coal power stations being closed down and not replaced - but now they are concerned about energy reliability. You couldn't make it up.

Daniel Andrews has been leading labor since 2014. Not Bill Shorten. He is the biggest threat to the right today and he's doing a great job. Safe Schools for example was brilliant.
My biggest hope is he builds as much as he can, and leaves no money for the next government whatever decade they finally return to power.

Most would argue electricity has been unreliable since the 90's. Effectively the day Kennett sold it into private hands.

What can they do in all honesty. A group of anti-democratic conservative rebels that won't accept the will and political sentiments of the Victorian people.
Reminds me a lot of the current brexit situation. Those remainers are equally as anti-democratic as victorian conservatives. These kennet lite dickheads should respect the will of the people and wait until they're in office
We are talking about public sector unions here.

Who gives a ****? When you're building so much infrastructure of course the budget will fluctuate. People who think a government budget is the equivalent of a household budget are cancer.

Beats the hell out of the federal government racking up more debt then we’ve ever had but with absolutely zilch to show for it.
