Northam Recovery Program Coordinator Tina Gunter spoke to Sky News Australia in response to the news that Federal Labor MP Alicia Payne is backing the decriminalisation of hard drugs in the ACT.

Ms Gunter said it is “ludicrous” for Ms Payne to suggest decriminalising the proposed level of possession of drugs will make it easier for people to get help.

“This legislation is fraught with danger,” Ms Gunter said. “We need to open up conversations and make it easier for people to go and get help, and rather then decriminalising it, making sure that people have got support to get the help they need.”
