29130 (2025). Hon Jenny Salesa to the Minister of Customs: What explanations, if any, has the Minister received from her officials as reasons why the 4.8 tonnes of methamphetamine seized in 2023/24 has not reduced domestic consumption, which reached 36kg per week by December 2024?

Hon Casey Costello: I consider that any advice provided to me on this topic is free and frank advice which, if released, may stop officials from providing advice of that nature in future. I do not consider it to be in the public interest for me to respond to this question.
