These events are those for which increasingly larger populations of the community, including a great many young people, have invested their identities, resources and livelihoods. Curtailing this culture is not simply a matter of controlling the elective recreational activities of young people, but it actively restricts creative industries and meaningful opportunities for employment (including in rural Australia) that have been established over many years. Government at all levels must show foresight by working with festival management and eventgoers in ceasing to undermine these events and the opportunities they embody.

Put a drug testing unit at A footy match or even the Horse races and I think you would be surprised by the outcome. If Government does not shift its views in relation to these events more young people will die as a result of over Policing

It is a war on culture and art...it is a war on youth..it is a war on civil liberties. Yet it is a culture that has less violence or negative behaviour than the average pub. My children, grandchildren or myself would be far safer at an electronic music event than a sporting event full of drunk aggressive men. Please get your priorities right!!

I have attended many such events and the one thing that stands out from all other behaviours, is the acceptance & tolerance of people from all walks of life. These events bring differing segments of the community together in a way that is uplifting.

The unfair level of attention focused on such events is causing loss of income to promoters and a serious fear of attending such events - attendees don't want their nights continually interrupted by heavy handed police interference that sometimes results in events being closed down. No one want to spend money on a night out, have it shut down and lose their money. It is getting to a point where people will only be able to listen to this kind of music at home.

To imply that this kind of music in particular incites dangerous drug use is ridiculous. Drug use occurs at all large music events, not just EDM events. The methods used to patrol this at larger events are often extremely confronting and ineffective. There has to be a better way than what looks like censorship.

SAVE OUR SOUND

I'm also a Grandmother and I fully support my grandchildren's interest in producing EDM as well as their father's tertiary education in Sound Engineering.

I would like to see them all become successful with their endeavours and I will always encourage them to follow their dreams, but I fear this will not be possible given the current political climate towards EDM culture.

I support this petition 100%.
