Harm reduction saves lives. I was incredibly proud to vote for a Bill which improves naloxone access & removes penalties for peer distribution of sterile injecting equipment. Both were recommendations of the Drug Law Reform inquiry I initiated. #springst https://fionapatten.com.au/speech/drugs-poisons-and-controlled-substances-amendment-2020/

Really glad the Vic LC (upper house) passed an amendment to the relevant Act which will allow for NSPs to distribute naloxone and removes penalties for peer distribution of sterile equipment for injection to their/our networks!! #IHRD21 @MartinFoleyMP
