For any interested in the Kandy fiasco, they got their apology:
| quote: | RAVE revellers are being urged to party hard, but party safe this summer in Melbourne.
Dance events company Hard Kandy director Scott Alert said educating young people at parties and raves was one of the most important ways to get the no-drugs message to Australia's youth.
He said clubs and events can have a positive impact on the attitude of young people towards drugs.
"Education and information is the number one priority," Mr Alert said.
He said information stalls at party venues helped inform revellers about responsible behaviour.
"The solution is not to shut down our scene or parties because that will create a bigger problem," he said.
"People are still going to go out and party and if they aren't coming into venues they will do it on the streets or in parks."
Director of Post Drug Healing and Training Centre Brett Pascoe said working with event organisers such as Hard Kandy encouraged responsible party behaviour.
"Parties can be a place of fun and education as well as place to enjoy great music," he said.
"It creates an opportunity to engage with people, dance and have fun without doing hard drugs."
Ambulance Victoria operations manager Paul Holman urged partygoers to play safe over the summer dance season.
"Go out there and have fun. Party hard, but party safe."
Hard Kandy runs the Billboard nightclub event Christmas Kandy, wrongly named in the Herald Sun as the rave party where several drug overdoses happened on Saturday night. Hard Kandy said it has a zero tolerance to drugs.
"We create a unique environment that is number one as far as reputation goes in looking after people," Mr Alert said.
"We try to be positive role models. We try and look at the cause of the problem and why people are turning to drugs."
