    Fears law enforcement isn't enough to stem the flow of meth, with record levels coming into the country

    Fears law enforcement isn't enough to stem the flow of meth, with record levels coming into the country


    Waste water data shows consumption of the drug more than doubled in the second half of last year to the highest levels ever.

    A new peak of 39 kilos a week was recorded in October - nearly double the previous record of 20 kilos in 2021.
