Progress is being made in the fight against ‘P’, but it is still early days. This week’s six-monthly update report shows progress in areas such as border seizures, the recovery of criminal assets, and the uptake of treatment places.
We are giving Customs more money to fight 'P' and other illegal trade at our borders. Budget 2010 will provide $5.9 million of capital funding over the next two years.
The money will buy Customs new technology. It will move our border control into the digital age with new, more advanced tools to detect the activities of drug criminals. Tools like these are vital if we are to clamp down on criminal gangs and the 'P' trade.
