THE Uniting Church Synod of NSW and ACT, and its service arm, Uniting, has today (February 12) labelled Canberra’s proposed drug law changes a breakthrough, saying the council is in full support of it.
A proposed bill titled, “Drugs of Dependence (Personal Use) Amendment Bill 2021” was introduced in the ACT Legislative Assembly yesterday and aims to divert users into programs such as rehabilitation.
It would also mean that people found with small amounts of drugs for personal use will no longer face arrest, fines or jail time.
Following its introduction, the Uniting Church Synod said these proposed changes are a significant step in the right direction and reflect a fact-based health response to drug use in the community.
