Victoria’s drug crisis worsensVictoria’s drug crisis is getting worse under Daniel Andrews, not better. By Portal Admin - 15th August 2017 - Back to News Reports of a 400 per cent increase in drug deaths in Melbourne’s outer suburbs in the past year are shocking and there appears no end in sight.
For every life lost, there are family and friends left devastated with a lifetime of grief ahead of them.
Under Daniel Andrews we are seeing drug use and overdoses skyrocket, drug associated crime spiral out of control, and waitlists for drug treatment blow out to over a year.
Only the Liberal-Nationals have a plan to tackle the drug epidemic through targeted education, better access to drug treatment and bringing down the drug kingpins that prey on some of the most vulnerable people in our community.
