For too long, the focus has been on punishment, not prevention. Drug harm is a health issue, not a criminal one and yet we’re still guided by laws written over 50 years ago that have caused more harm than help. Around the world, other countries are showing what’s possible when health and evidence lead the way. A great piece of research led by Sarah and the team from The Drug Foundation.

"This country cannot arrest its way out of this crisis."
Powerful words from Sarah Helm, Executive Director of the NZ Drug Foundation, for an impactful day at Parliament yesterday, at the launch of 'Safer drug laws for Aotearoa New Zealand', a major new report from NZ Drug Foundation.
The event reflected on the past 50 years since the Misuse of Drugs Act was passed into law, and the ongoing harm that has been caused. A better way forward for Aotearoa was presented, an opportunity to have safer drug laws that prioritise health, prevent deaths, and uphold Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
It is heartening to see the cross-party commitment to evidence-based policy that focuses on the wellbeing of our people and communities, not punishment.

We’re seeing more and more of these manipulative posts popping up online . Using Māori names, photos of real people, and fake stories to lure our whānau into online gambling.
These aren’t harmless ads. They’re predatory tactics designed to look like personal stories, tug on your ❤️, and hook people in.
Don’t fall for it and Don’t let others fall for it and call it out.
