.@rachelpayneMP and I were joined today by former HH Magistrate Tony Parsons to call out the Allan Government's failure to show courage on cannabis law reform.
Continuing to arrest 4000 Victorians every year for cannabis possession is bad policy and worse politics.

Victoria’s first fixed pill testing site is now open, 95 Brunswick St Fitzroy.
The Greens, the experts and the community fought for years for this life-saving service to be introduced.
It will save lives.
And this campaign persisted while for years we were told ‘No’.

🚨 583 Victorians died from fatal overdose in 2024 — the highest on record.
Services can’t keep up. Wait times are months. People are giving up.
We need urgent action, not more policing.
