Victoria is the only state or territory in the country that conducts the roadside tests. Independent MLA Gerry Wood said the Territory Government should investigate how the testing operated in Victoria and introduce it in the NT. "The Territory should definitely have it," …

He said police had made the disturbing discovery that some parents were supplying drugs to their children and ordering them to sell the illicit substances to classma…
