Beyond Prohibition Report of the Redfern Legal Centre Drug Law Reform Project September 1996 6. Future drug law reform activities Future -activities for the Redfern Drug Law Reform Project are -likely to include closer links to other committees and organisations working on drug law reform in New South Wales. These groups are growing in number and diversity and include in their members the parents, siblings and friends of people who have died from overdose, AIDS or other drug-related causes, doctors, lawyers, professors and emeritus professors of medicine and pharmacology, drug users, health care workers, clerks, needle exchange workers, historians and artists. In turn, these NSW groups are working closely with groups in other States and with the Australian Drug Law Reform Foundation to address issues of drug policy and related law reform in every jurisdiction in Australia. The documents contained in this report will be examined again next year to see whether further changes and refinements are needed. Another report of people's comments on the documents will also be released at some point in 1997. Individuals and organisations are invited to endorse, abuse or otherwise comment on the documents and to send these comments to: Drug Law Reform Project Redfern Legal Centre 73 Pitt St Redfern 2016 New South Wales Australia Fax: 61-2-9310-3586 Acknowledgments The main author of this report was Steve Bolt, who served as project officer from mid-1994 until August 1996.
