We've rolled that out in various mediums where we think they're accessing their news and information from, and we think that's proving to be beneficial.

It's not job done, and I think we'd probably look at the same in terms of sexual health.

Yeah, I think it's worth exploring.

I've got to be honest with you.

Anything or suggestions like that from my perspective as a health minister, but putting my role aside just as a dad of a teenager and a soon-to-be teenager, I think they're worth exploring because these things can be fatal.

And I'm not into shock and awe, but the reality is for people...

things can go wrong.

They're not controlled substance in any way.

We don't really know in some cases what's in these substances.

We certainly don't have any regulatory framework around those people who are selling them illegally.

So yes, I'd be happy to take any suggestions.

This is an issue.

We're not pretending it's not.

I think it's worth a discussion and happy to look at it further.

Yeah, I think it is worth looking at.

I mean, our view on this is that we have to get the balance right and we see regulation in the same way what we've tried to do with illegal tobacco in this area as an important part of the tools that we need to try and reduce the problem.

Now, you're not going to get around every person who wants to try and do the wrong thing by their very nature, crooks are crooks, because they want to go outside the law.

So I'm not pretending that...

just because the government passes a piece of legislation that necessarily solves the problem.

But I do think we as a government need to be nimble and we need to be looking at what is happening, taking these types of suggestions from people who have had first-hand experience with it, and then looking at how we can crack down and reduce the prevalence.
