“Naloxone program gaining traction, but many unaware about life-saving drug” posted on the ABC website states that in the first 6 months of the national Take Home Naloxone program, 16,900 people have accessed the life-saving drug in Australia.

A man has died from a suspected drug overdose and 6 people were charged with drug supply at the Transmission music festival held last weekend. The New South Wales government has steadfastly refused to allow drug checking services to be set up in the state.
