As I have stated previously, the 'Ice Destroys Lives' campaign is also assisting to highlight the work of the National Ice Taskforce. The task force is continuing to work with states and territories and the Australian National Advisory Council on Alcohol and Drugs on the development of a final report and the national ice strategy. The report and strategy will go to COAG before the end of the year. The task force has identified six key areas to guide work towards the development of the national ice strategy: focusing law enforcement actions, targeting primary prevention, improving access to early intervention, supporting local communities to respond, improving tools for front-line workers, and improving and consolidating research and data. I again commend my colleagues who have done so much work on this: Senator Smith, Senator McKenzie, Senator O'Sullivan and the many other colleagues who have been working tirelessly to ensure that this government works with others to bring in a national ice action strategy.
