The Briefing

If you're getting your pills tested, should we all see the results?

Headlines: The Reserve Bank finally cut interest rates, man charged with online harassment of Antoinette Lattouf and a TikTokker finds an album of unseen photos of Scott Morrison from 1996.

Deep Dive: If you’re getting your pills tested at a music festival, who ends up with your data from the results – and what should they do with it? 

Legal pill and drug testing in Australia has made significant legislative steps in recent years – from calls for it to be trialled by community organisations to being introduced into four jurisdictions across the country, with some being permanent sites.  

But as we become more familiar with pill testing, are we doing enough with the data we get from it for it to be of major use to the community?

In this episode of The Briefing Helen Smith is joined by RMIT drug policy expert, Associate Professor Monica Barratt, who has some ideas for what our policymakers could be doing better.
