‘Don’t leave young people in the dark’, urges Pill Testing Australia in campaign targeting parents
Young people attending music festivals without the benefit of pill testing is on par with them driving and walking across the street while hampered by a blindfold, according to Pill Testing Australia’s latest campaign push.
The latest public service announcement was directed and produced by Andrew McWilliam, a production assistant on the set of Australian film, Rising Wolf, and the son of Bruce McWilliam, Seven West Media’s commercial director.
The film sees a blindfolded young woman say goodbye to her mother, then drive and walk through traffic to a festival without her sight. The spot closes with the line ‘Don’t leave young people in the dark’ and a call to action to contact local MPs about the issue.
Cool effort, but in what world do you PR who your dad is?
Oh, I thought drugs were illegal, my bad.
Just because something is illegal doesn’t mean that it is bad, and similarly somethings that are legal arguably shouldn’t be.
In WA it is illegal to be in possession of 50kg of potatoes at any one time.
In Queensland the law still requires taxi drivers to have a bale of hay in their boot at all times.
In Victoria it is illegal to wear pink hot pants on a Sunday after midday.
Conversely, in NSW the Sydney Harbour Bridge is still a designated stock route – as long as you use the eastern-most lane. And from memory it is only between 2am and 4am and costs one penny per head of stock. Also learn your Decimal Currency Act of 1966. I would recommend crossing with the stock in threes as 3d. = 2c. When we abolished the 1c. and 2c. coins that rounds down to zero cents = free! Otherwise it is a real bugger getting that through on your e-tag!
That hot pants thing is an internet spoof and QLD legislation refers to ‘cabs’ as in a horse and cart in early history and not the modern-day taxi. Oddly enough the potato law is true.
You should try them, they’re awesome.
