Senator DI NATALE (Victoria) (14:26): Mr President, I have a supplementary question which was also rated highly by the public on the OurSay website. Minister, given that law enforcement policies are harming more people than the drugs themselves in many instances and often result in more crime, with recent media reports demonstrating that the illicit drug market is now conservatively estimated at $7 billion per annum, when will this government change its current approach, which is expensive and has failed in terms of targeting end users, and begin treating this as a health issue?
