Huge course reversal from Chris "I fucking love killing children" Minns.

Still doing searches so they're gonna keep killing a few people just for fun but this is a massive win for reason.

Ms Ross-King thanked the government for listening to the evidence and having the courage to act on it.

"Young people take risks, that is the reality of life, but they do not deserve to die because of one decision," Ms Ross-King said.

Yeah, I mean nobody deserves to die for getting high but kids are included in that. My gratitude to Ms Ross-King for her relentless campaigning and empathy, people will live that wouldn't have.

In short:

From October, a pill testing service will be made available at up to 15 music festivals per year in NSW.

In announcing the permanent service, Health Minister Ryan Park says it is "not a silver bullet" and will not endorse drug use.

The move was praised by Jennie Ross-King, whose daughter Alex died of an MDMA overdose at a Sydney festival in 2019.
