Select Committee to examine alternative approaches to reducing illicit drug harm
Greens spokesperson for Alcohol and Other Drugs Hon Alison Xamon MLC has today welcomed the bipartisan support of the Legislative Council for her motion to set up a Select Committee to examine alternative approaches to reducing the harm caused by illicit drugs.
Ms Xamon said the Select Committee would inquire into other Australian state jurisdictions and international approaches to reducing harm to the community caused by drug use – including Portugal’s much heralded approach.
