For decades Australian governments have sold the lie that Australia’s National Drug Strategy is based on a balanced approach to addressing illicit drug use across supply, demand and harm reduction approaches. This much needed new data report conclusively shows, however, that Australia’s approach to drug policy is anything but balanced.”
