ACT Justice Minister Shane Rattenbury admits to taking ecstasy, following calls for pill testing at music festivals

Justice Minister Shane Rattenbury has admitted to previously taking MDMA, following calls for pill testing at music festivals in New South Wales.

Mr Rattenbury played a key role in establishing the first pill testing trial in Australia at Groovin' The Moo in Canberra last year.

In a joint letter with Ms Faehrmann, Mr Rattenbury called on Premier Gladys Berejiklian to consider a trial in the state, after suspected overdoses at Australian music festivals resulted in the deaths of six young people this summer.
