The present "harm minimisation" policy is a disaster, which merely expands drug usage. The war on drugs must be fought with all the weapons of war, including dramatically expanded physical and human resources to our police and other enforcement bodies. Most importantly, the drug cartels presently launder an estimated $10 billion per year through Australia's banks, without whose cooperation the drug trade could not function; these banks, who have also financed the decriminalisation/legalisation lobby in this country, must be pursued ruthlessly.
