No, but increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation

The Australian Labor Party has consistently supported increased funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation. For example, in 2019, the party pledged $200 million to fund drug and alcohol treatment services. This aligns with their focus on harm reduction strategies and a more compassionate approach to drug addiction.

No, but decriminalise drugs that offer medicinal benefits such as marijuana

The Australian Labor Party has shown strong support for decriminalizing drugs with medicinal benefits, such as marijuana. In 2016, they supported the legalization of medicinal cannabis at the federal level, and in 2019, the New South Wales Labor Party supported a pill-testing trial at music festivals. This demonstrates their willingness to decriminalize drugs with medicinal benefits.
