As the world marks #WorldDrugDay, we must recognize that criminalizing drugs has not decreased their use or supply. Instead, it drives the trade underground, increases harms of using drugs and fuels organized crime, human rights abuses, corruption and violence.

This year, to mark “Support. Don’t Punish,” we asked our communities, “What does support look like for you?”   We received nearly 50 heartfelt responses and our talented peer artists from the community turned these insights into beautiful illustrations. Feel free to spread the love and throw these everywhere, and if you want stickers or tattoos or posters, let us know! #SupportDontPunish #HarmReductionSavesLives – at Australia

What an amazing night! Best ever with the camera so far. The #AuroraAustralis came out to play ... BIG TIME tonight. I packed my gear and headed to Nimmons Bridge, Newton (just outside of #Ballarat). I was one of MANY people there enjoying this spectacular night-sky show.

NSW Health has issued a warning regarding severe opioid overdoses in the Penrith area in the last month. Nitazenes are potent synthetic opioids which can be stronger than fentanyl and hundreds of times more potent than heroin.

Today is an ideal opportunity to highlight how drug checking saves lives here in Australia. With continuing drug related hospitalisations & deaths happening across the country, it is integral that other governments follow the ACT's approach & commit to harm reduction. @canTESTCBR
