Neo_Dullard comic, Batch 3, No. 16

Music festivals are a non-issue in Melbourne in extended COVID lockdown. But I wrote this in mid-2018 and hmm.. I still don’t see why pill-testing or safe, public injection rooms are a problem. I don’t even use drugs. I’m honestly baffled at the argument(s) against.
