Just before her 21st birthday, Mary was given an unusual gift: addiction

More than 2.5 years on since the ice inquiry handed down its report with negligible action since. That means many more stories like this one about Mary who was given ice to celebrate her 21st birthday.

smh.com.au

The drug ice is increasingly a factor in family breakdown, domestic violence and the number of children being placed in care, a special inquiry has heard.
