AnswerView source ↗
My understanding is that Hon Phil
Edman, in response to my advice to him, chose not to inhale the drug. I am
advised that he has handed it to police, which is entirely appropriate. To
anybody in this chamber or outside who may be listening, if a person purchases
these drugs that are an illegal substance, they are breaking the law and the
police will follow up on it.
Mrs
M.H. Roberts interjected.
The
SPEAKER : Member for Midland, I call you to order for the first time.
