“Calls to take Canberra’s drug-checking service CanTEST on the road to better help Australians” was a feature piece on ABC News yesterday. “The facility has confirmed what authorities had long warned – that each link in the illicit drug trade is in it for themselves. Dealers often dilute drugs, mixing in chemicals that stretch their stash – and their cash – as far as possible.”
The show is co-presented with Marion Watson. Music is played during the show, which is broadcast live-to-air on 2XX, 98.3 FM, Canberra’s Community Radio. 2XXfm 98.3 - Canberra's Oldest Community Radio Station.
The show can be streamed live through the 2XX website or heard, at a time that suits you, as a podcast on apps like Podbean or Spotify from later on in the week.
Kindest regards,
