Queensland's government bans pill testing, sparking backlash over reversed support.
Queensland’s Leader of the House, Dr. Christian Rowan, drew criticism for backing a last-minute LNP government amendment banning pill testing, reversing his 2019 support when he sponsored a petition for trials.
Citing cabinet solidarity and the government’s promise to oppose illicit drug support, Rowan said a recent trial found no safe way to use drugs.
Critics, including opposition health spokesperson Mark Bailey, called the move ideologically driven and a betrayal of evidence-based harm reduction, noting Rowan and other LNP members had previously supported pill testing while in opposition.
The decision underscores ongoing tensions between political commitments and public health policy.
