INTERNATIONAL OVERDOSE AWARENESS DAY

HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [9.48 pm]: I rise to acknowledge that Saturday was International Overdose Awareness Day, which aims to raise awareness of the effects of drug overdose and reduce the stigma around drug-related death, as well as acknowledge the grief felt by family and friends when remembering loved ones who have died. It is also an important opportunity to try to spread the message that drug overdoses are always 100 per cent preventable.
