Fines for drug possession should be means-tested. Rather than punishing the poor, Matt Noffs asks: wouldn't it be common sense to chase the wealthy who can actually pay? "If we really want to help that [poor] person, the system should be guiding them." bit.ly/3oEzahd
A new proposal could see NSW introduce a '3 strikes' law on drug possession, helping people seek treatment without fear of criminal sanctions. It's long past time Governments accept the evidence and treat drugs as a health and safety issue. 7news.com.au/news/crime/nsw…
The only way to stop crime is to prevent it. That's why our Safest State campaign is calling for a Street University in Townsville, which is grappling with rising youth crime. Let's give young people treatment, support and hope to lead fulfilling lives.townsvillebulletin.com.au/news/townsvill…
"If we can talk to young people about their drug use and ramifications, those conversations and interventions can have a big impact on their life's trajectory rather than the blunt instrument of a fine." Take Control's Mark Ferry on harm reduction. smh.com.au/national/nsw/d…
“When we talk about decriminalising drugs, we say let’s deal with the drugs as a health issue,” said Matt Noffs, launching our Safest State campaign. We can divert young Queenslanders from drugs and alcohol by giving them the support they need to recover. couriermail.com.au/truecrimeaustr…
This week we launched our Queensland campaign for the diversion and rehabilitation of young people experiencing drug issues. We can't tackle youth crime without addressing the root causes. Locking up our youth just doesn't work. It's time for a new way. abc.net.au/news/2020-08-2…
"Governments too often try to deal with the symptoms, not the causes." Take Control spokesperson Mick Palmer weighs in on the Queensland Opposition's revived policy of 'boot camps' for young people involved in crime. facebook.com/watch/?v=63678…

Take Control spokesperson Shelley Smith asks whether the government has gone far enough in its response to the ice inquiry, in @10Daily today: 10daily.com.au/views/a200227v…
Removing criminal penalties for personal use/possession of drugs is a key recommendation in the ice inquiry. We hope it will be part of much needed drug law reform: 7news.com.au/news/drugs-and…
Our spokesperson @mattnoffs gives us a crash course on the journey to regulation - and why the findings from the special inquiry into amphetamine use are an important part of this - in @GuardianAus today.
Our spokesperson @mattnoffs gives us a crash course on the journey to regulation - and why the findings from the special inquiry into amphetamine use are an important part of this - in @GuardianAus today.
Depenalisation is a step, decriminalisation is another step. But full regulation of all drugs – that’s when we begin to take control of the situation. My piece in @GuardianAus today: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
This commission has been over a year in the making, and the public has a right to know the findings. The Premier must release this report immediately. smh.com.au/national/nsw/n…
Destroying drugs in amnesty bins is a wasted opportunity for us to gain greater insight into the black market smh.com.au/national/nsw/h…
In light of these latest figures about MDMA, the Special Commission of Inquiry Into the Drug Ice must follow the NSW Coroner & call for the removal of criminal sanctions for personal use. smh.com.au/lifestyle/heal…
Jennie Ross-King, who lost her daughter Alex at a music festival last January, is determined to ensure no other parent goes through the same tragedy. We look forward to working with her as part of the @TakeControlAU campaign. smh.com.au/national/nsw/l…
Look out for @JRK68993240's video tomorrow! smh.com.au/national/nsw/l…
This would save so many lives. We are calling on the NSW government to make our drug laws safer and implement another supervised consumption site: theage.com.au/politics/nsw/c…
The ACT trials were an important litmus test, and they've proven successful. We now encourage all states and territories to take note of this report and roll out their own trials! theguardian.com/australia-news…
