As we enter festival season and the pill testing debate hits overdrive, a new survey has been released that shows the majority of Australians want on-site testing facilities at events.

The new figures come just over a week after NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian shutdown calls for pill testing following the death of a punter at a dance festival in Sydney earlier this month.
