Paul Goldsmith: Meth importers a "good place to start"

from The Weekend Collective · host Newstalk ZB

The Government has released an action plan to deal with the growing issue of methamphetamine use in New Zealand.  They're investing $30 million over four years into the hardest hit communities, increasing maritime operations to stop it before it gets into the country, and we'll soon see a nationwide media campaign to raise awareness - among other policies.  The amount of meth seized both in the country and offshore has increased 266% over the past five years, and the estimated social harm from meth use was $1.5 billion last year.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
