These are some of the main areas where progress has been achieved since the launch of the national drugs strategy. The misuse of drugs is a hugely complex issue. As I am sure Senators are aware, there is not just one drugs problem, rather there are many drugs used in different circumstances. Addressing this issue requires responses from a range of agencies and service providers. We all have a responsibility in this area, especially as politicians and legislators. In particular, we need to do our utmost to ensure we make a difference to those communities hit hardest by the problem of drug misuse.
