Three overdose at Melbourne rave
Three revellers were rushed to hospital after overdosing on drugs at a Melbourne dance concert, only days after 14 people were treated for overdoses at a rave party in Ballarat.
The Metropolitan Ambulance Service (MAS) said two men and one woman were taken to St Vincent's Hospital on Thursday night in a critical condition and 30 were treated by paramedics at the Daft Punk concert at Melbourne's Sidney Myer Music Bowl.
A spokeswoman for St Vincent's Hospital confirmed the trio, all in their 20s, had been discharged by Friday morning.
In the Ballarat incident, 14 people were taken to hospital with drug overdoses last Saturday from the Ultraworld rave party held at the city's Kryal Castle.
Three of them needed life support in intensive care after consuming a potentially deadly mix of drugs, including GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyric acid), ice and amphetamines, according to Ballarat Health Services (BHS).
Following a meeting of Moorabool Shire Council on Friday, The BHS demanded that rave parties be banned in the region.
BHS chief executive Andrew Rowe said the Ballarat area was an inappropriate place to hold a rave.
"We do not support rave parties and I call on the Moorabool Shire Council to take action to cancel the permit issued to the organisers of the event at Kryal Castle," Mr Rowe said in a statement.
"The demands placed on BHS to cope with significant numbers of drug overdosed patients stretch our resources to breaking point and compromises the care that we can provide to other patients."
Moorabool Council met with police, Kryal Castle owners and rave organisers.
The council said it would consider the future of Kryal Castle's permit to hold raves at a meeting next Wednesday.
BHS said its Base Hospital Emergency Department treated 48 patients on Saturday night and 148 on Sunday.
Acting Inspector Michael Glenane said police would be present if the next proposed rave at the medieval-style tourist attraction goes ahead in February.
Kryal Castle says it is under contract to hold the rave next year.
MAS spokesman Paul Bentley said the organisers of Thursday night's Never Ever Land rave, which drew 13,000 revellers, had declined an offer by the ambulance service to prepare a health response plan prior to the event.
"They said they didn't need it," Mr Bentley said.
He said a health response plan was in place for the Summadayze New Year's Day rave to be held at the same venue.

1. Australia will never "say goodbye to raves"... most of the major raves are held in the bush/outback, millions of kilometres from civilisation.
2. Ballarat is known for being a "rave town"; the council would be stupid to ban raves there because the outcome would be (more) illegal raves and any OD's/deaths resulting thereof would have to be held accountable by the council.
3. People who take GHB are morons.
4. So are candy ravers.
5. "Daft Punk" and "rave" should never be used in the same sentence.

I think the more important question is what were people doing at a daft punk concert?

Hang on is that a Neighbours news feed? 
They're going hard on the East Coast that's for sure, there'll never be inner-city warehouse parties again in Sydney I doubt after the constant attention of late.
