Member for Bunbury Don Punch has been chosen to represent Bunbury on the State Government’s Methamphetamine Action Plan Taskforce to help deal with WA’s ice epidemic.
Mr Punch said the establishment of the McGowan government’s initiative was a step in the right direction to tackle the issue.
“I am really pleased to be invited to be a member of the Methamphetamine Action Plan Taskforce and believe this is, in part, recognition of the amazing work being done by the community in my electorate of Bunbury to combat the ice problem,” Mr Punch said.
“I am looking forward to working with leaders in the fields of social and community services, health, education, drug research and policing, and to make a contribution to helping address one of the most significant social and health issues confronting our community.”
Mr Punch thanked the Premier for the invitation to be a part of the Taskforce, and the opportunity to play a role in overseeing it’s implementation.
“The make-up and role of the Taskforce is a testament to the McGowan Labor Government’s commitment to getting the right balance between prevention, protection and prosecution,” he said.
“I am very pleased to be part of a government that aims to better support communities and families dealing with the impact of meth, and look forward to the constructive role I can play as a member of the Taskforce.”
