Less than a month after securing 20,000 signatures on a Newcastle petition calling for reforms to Responsible Service of Alcohol Laws, state parliament set to debate drink spiking this week.
Newcastle-based What Were You Wearing launched the petition calling for all security and bar staff at nightclubs to be trained on drink spiking and sexual violence prevention.
It followed a rise in reported cases in recent months.
The petition has the support of Newcastle MP, Tim Crackanthorp, who will lead the debate on Thursday.
