Bressington stands firm on teen tests

AdelaideNow... Bressington stands firm on teen tests:

"“This is not about punishment but about early detection."

The sort of stuff available now is worth big moeny and is highly addictive. It is so important to keep the young ones on track...especially if it really is true 1 in 5 Australians takes drugs at work. I still can't get over it. Dependency and addiction create such sad, tragic lives. Better to do what we can and operate as a community to get rid of harmful stuff. It really is harmful and the young ones don't get the chance to make good and right themselves once they get caught up in it. Didn't NZ trial drug testing in schools? I remember it was hotly debated and then went ahead in some areas while I was there a while back. I thought it was great how the whole nation picked it up and talked about it . Their bottom line was schools were there to teach and educate kids and this was part of their caring for kids. Drugs are costing us a lot... and too many of our young ones are getting into hot water because of them.
