Mother of teenager who died at Sydney music festival urges Minns government to introduce pill testing

Oct 3, 2023

Ms Ross-King and her family have campaigned for active measures to reduce drug-related risks, including pill testing. “The premier, government, governments before them … they want young people to change their behaviour,” she said. “They are not going to change their behaviour. The government needs to change their behaviour.”
