The drug-testing trial actually is an Australian-first initiative, despite what others might say. We are always out there looking for new and innovative ways to deal with the devastating impact that drugs have on individuals, their families, their communities and the whole of Australia. I'm pleased to advise the Senate that this morning I took a drug test, and anybody in this place is welcome to go and have a drug test; they're in this building. But the main reason that they're here is so you can go and assure yourselves of the process of undertaking a drug test. It's very commonplace in many workplaces.
