Heroin drug deaths fall
"In 2000, the death toll reached about 1000 but Mr Trimingham said it had since fallen to about 300, although police had told him that the decline appeared to be largely because of a drop in the amount of heroin reaching Australia." "The way we treat people in jail with drug problems is awful, and 80 per cent of people in prison have drug problems," Mr Trimingham said.
