Intergovernmental Committee on Drugs: 2007-2008 annual report to the Ministerial Council on Drug Strategy
This is the ninth annual report on progress of Australian, state and territory governments under the National Drug Strategy 2004-2009.
This report provides an overview of the activities undertaken by all jurisdictions over the period 1 July 2007 to 30 June 2008. It presents a broad national view of the key drug-related issues affecting Australia with a particular focus on the interventions undertaken by government agencies to reduce the supply, demand and harms associated with drug use across sectors.
The data provided in the report are largely descriptive. Given the multiplicity and complexity of factors affecting drug use in Australian society, caution is required in interpreting simple cause-and-effect relationships from the data.
