Our founder, Dr Stephen Bright, was a guest on a recent episode of @theproof in which he discusses the disconnect between media reporting on AOD-related harm and the actual incidence of such harms. Link to Episode: https://t.co/rwoN0X9FGS

Great, so we're doing estimated 'street values' for seized vapes now. Tune in next week for 'record seizures show our plan is working', 'landed another decisive blow against organised crime', and other fact-free furphys from the prohibition crowd. https://t.co/e43DlfEy9h

The 150,000-vape haul is the first large-scale seizure since import ban was introduced in the new year and have a street value of $4.5m

There is a concept known as "drug seizure porn". You know the deal: guns, drug and money in a photo next to a story about a massive drug seizure. However, this is new: vapes. We are not really sure how to categorise this!?! #AODMediaWatch #drugs #lawenforcement #media #journalism

So true #drugpolicy
EXEMPLAR: Great story on #pilltesting by @heyracheddie via @theage featuring @AshBinAus and @ssdp_australia! The fact that Victoria prohibits official pill testing, despite similar monitoring of drugs occurring, is ridiculous and hypocritical. https://t.co/vpULAFcMku

With one hand Victoria prohibits the drug testing protocols in festivals that save lives due to overdose With the other they allow clinical business to charge 19.000 to 25.000$ to patients for therapies that use some of the same drugs Medical/financial apartheid + double moral

The debate on testing party drugs is just restarting in Victoria, but some people are already doing the work at festivals.

We fully support the call for pill testing at all festivals and fixed sites. It is time to stop people dying or being significantly harmed. @PictonChris @PMalinauskasMP

The first parcel, covered in "significant barnacle growth", was discovered by a member of the public in the Central Coast.
