TOUGH NEW LAWS FOR ICE MANUFACTURERS AND DEALERS

Under tough new laws announced by the state government, ice manufacturers and dealers could be jailed for life.

Anyone found manufacturing or in possession of ice, from 500 grams to a kilogram, will be charged with an offence that carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

In a statement, Attorney General Gabrielle Upton said the government will meet community expectations to ensure there is justice.

“Drug manufacturers and dealers, particularly those involved in ice, profit from the misery and misfortune of others.

“We believe serious drug manufacturers and dealers spreading this poison throughout the community must be held to higher
account.”

The changes come into effect tomorrow.
