Criminal Justice (Illicit Traffic by Sea) Bill 2000: Second Stage.
Senator Terry referred to the serious effects of drugs on our citizens and other knock-on effects. Of course we must apprehend those trafficking in drugs and they must be brought to justice; the Government will not be found wanting in that regard. There is a cost involved in human and financial terms. If we did not have this problem much of the funding involved could be diverted elsewhere. The Government will provide the necessary funds for activity on land and sea.
