Drug policy is an important issue but it rarely gets the rational debate that it deserves. Drugs are implicated in many of our most costly social problems – homelessness, poverty, mental health, child neglect, family breakdown and should be of high priority to our governments. At election time drugs policy is often only raised on a tough law and order platform killing off any real debate. This event will provide the opportunity for a candidate from each major party to answer questions and provide information on their party’s policies on drug issues prior to the forthcoming election on 21st August, 2010.
Monday 9th August, 2010 5.00 pm for 5.30pm – 7.30pm
Johnson Auditorium, Pilgrim House, 59 Northbourne Ave, Civic Centre
Light refreshments will be served from 5pm.
