          <by role="member" id="4363">The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:28):</by>  Supplementary arising from the original answer: where the minister stated that pill testing was not evidenced based, is he aware that the European Union has been pill testing for a long time, and is he cognisant of that evidence?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:28):</by>  I wasn't trying to suggest that there was nobody in the world who thought that pill testing wasn't efficacious. I made the point, coming out of the Hon. Mr Pangallo's question, that he was highlighting the fact that the ACT is an Australian first. That, to me, suggests that it is not well established and evidence based. I thank the honourable member for her reference and I will continue to look for strategies to reduce the impact of illicit drugs on Australians, but pill testing is not on my list of strategies.</text>
