I am the full-time carer of my two grandkids and witness first-hand the tragic impact of ICE use on local families. What can the Government do to help?

Dear Jill
I share your concern about the heart-breaking impact of drug use. Our whole community is affected by this scourge. More needs to be done to tackle this epidemic, particularly in regional areas like the Sunshine Coast. That’s why the LNP committed at the last election to build a residential rehab centre on the Sunshine Coast as well as other centres in Wide Bay, Townsville and Toowoomba.
There has to be tougher action against drug dealers who peddle this death and destruction, better education of young people in schools about the dangers, and support for people who want to break the cycle.
