Tough on Drugs

"I am announcing that a re-elected Coalition Government will introduce new laws to prevent welfare payments being used to buy illicit drugs by quarantining and managing 100 per cent of such benefits to people convicted of criminal drug offences. This will ensure that 6,000 people convicted of offences involving hard drugs such as heroin, cocaine and amphetamines cannot spend taxpayers’ money on illicit drugs, cigarettes and alcohol while still being able to pay the bills and buy food and other essentials."
