Introduce Drugs of Abuse testing for sitting members of parliament.

Petition Details

Workplace drug testing exists in many sectors, military, transport, clinical, but not in government. The public deserves to have representatives who are sober and not impeded by drugs of abuse. A recent study showed that all but 1 bathroom in the Houses of Parliament contained traces of cocaine.
