MINISTER for Rural Health Bridget McKenzie has congratulated the Australian Federal Police, for their role in a major methamphetamine (ice) bust in Adelaide, South Australia.
As part of the National Ice Action Strategy, law enforcement authorities, led by the AFP, have halted the distribution of more than 300 kilograms of ice, which "had the potential to impact regional communities".
"Regional communities are often the hardest hit when it comes to ice abuse and addiction," McKenzie said.
"That's why we are tackling the supply of methamphetamine through increased international cooperation, better intelligence sharing and stronger controls over precursor chemicals to prevent ice from reaching our shores."
"This latest seizure clearly demonstrates that the Coalition's targeted investments are putting a major dent into the ice epidemic in regional communities."
