Legislative Council Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Illicit Substance Abuse Illicit Substance Abuse The Hon. A.L. McLACHLAN Legislative Council Illicit Substance Abuse The Hon. A.L. McLACHLAN (14:46): A further supplementary on another topic: what is the government's estimate of the proportion of ice produced by organised crime? The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS Legislative Council Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety Illicit Substance Abuse The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:46): I don't have that statistic readily available. It is hard to get statistics on a sense of the scale of the issue, full stop. It is an illicit market; we don't have market regulators who are able to report on who is producing ice and who isn't, but we do know that organised crime is involved in the production of ice—they are a major source of this problem. We also know they are involved in the distribution of ice, but as it stands I don't have a statistic regarding how much they are responsible for.
