DRUG LAW REFORM & HARM REDUCTION

The war on drugs has been an abject failure and all it has given us is more dead bodies. Cate’s Rethink Reform campaign focuses on three key demands for change: legalising cannabis, allowing pill testing and removing criminal sanctions for the personal use and possession of all currently illicit drugs, recognising that there is much more that must be done in this space.

Cate is also fighting to end the use of drugs dogs and to repeal the roadside drug testing regime until it can test for impairment, not simply punish a person for the presence of a substance.
