The Politics in Harm Reduction w/ Aiv Puglielli (Victorian Greens)
Aiv Puglielli is a member of the Victorian Legislative Council, for the North-Eastern Metropolitan region. As a member of the Victorian Greens, he holds the portfolios of Young People, Education, Legalising Cannabis and Drug Harm Reduction. After experiencing firsthand the toll that COVID-19 pandemic took on Australia’s artist community he joined the Greens and was elected to parliament in November 2022.
We discuss his pathway into politics, conservative attitudes toward drug users, cannabis at a state government level, drug harm reduction, supervised injecting rooms and more. We play the game ‘Politicians Behaving Badly Pt. 3’.
