Queensland Opposition leader David Crisafulli says the state government is “tearing itself apart” and has its priorities wrong by introducing drug reforms such as pill testing.

“At a time when Queenslanders want action on youth crime, the government’s solution was to allow drugs to be more prevalent in society.”
