Colloquially referred to as the “heroin shortage” (Degenhardt et al, 2006), the effects of the diminished availability of the drug were particularly severe in Western Australia and resulted in an immediate decline in numbers of recent users and their rates of use. Prices rose steeply to a median of $750 per gram despite substantial decreases in userreported levels of purity. In this bulletin we examine the data collected by the Illicit Drug Reporting System (IDRS) over the years to consider the possibility that the heroin market in Perth, Western Australia may be in a process of slow recovery.

Author: Australian Crime Commission Title: The Australian methylamphetamine market: the national picture Summary: This report aims to provide a concise understanding of the nature of organised crime involvement in the Australian methylamphetamine market. The ACC monitors all illicit drug markets through its High Risk and Emerging Drugs Special Operation. Through this work, the ACC has assessed that methylamphetamine poses the greatest threat to the Australian public of all illicit drug types. The ACC's annual Illicit Drug Data Report provides a detailed and comprehensive statistical picture of the illicit drug threat to Australia and provides an in-depth statistical analysis of the illicit drug market. The Australian Methylamphetamine Market: The National Picture is a complementary intelligence report. This report provides a brief summation of the national picture of the methylamphetamine threat. It explores the international and national dimensions of the methylamphetamine market, outlines the role of organised crime in driving the Australian market, the nature of the market, and the harms associated with methylamphetamine use. It also examines the diversion of precursor chemicals required to produce methylamphetamine in clandestine laboratories. It does this by consolidating open source information with operational and strategic intelligence collected by the ACC and Commonwealth, state and territory law enforcement agencies. The release of this report is designed to: inform the widest possible audience, including those who are not privy to classified law enforcement intelligence; generate discussion and dialogue about what can be done to tackle the methylamphetamine problem; enable individuals, friends and families to understand the nature of the harms; caused by methylamphetamine and influence those around them to minimise harm inform the national response to the methylamphetamine market.
