DRUG LEGISLATION ENDORSED
NEW laws designed to torpedo the drug trade at the production stage have
been endorsed by the Legislative Assembly.
The Misuse of Drugs Amendment Bill 2003 places strict controls on who is
able to buy chemicals and equipment that can be used to make amphetamines
and other drugs.
Police Minister Michelle Roberts has championed the legislation as having
the potential to break the back of WA's outlaw bikie gangs, which have made
millions from the sale of amphetamines.
If the Legislative Council agrees to the legislation, people buying
chemicals and equipment will have to provie photographic identification and
a declaration outlining the reason for the purchase.
