Small towns are quite vulnerable to the effects of social dislocation caused by desperate ice users. In Nowra, an astonishing percentage of drivers test positive for amphetamines and in Lismore a dealer is arrested with a trove of crystal meth. Small town community leaders regularly work with authorities to confront as resolve the issue. We with Anthony Mundine as he visits his hometown of Wellington, a small NSW town that has been devastated by ice use.

This provocative series takes us to the frontline of Australia’s drug war on the drug known as Ice. Through unprecedented access, we follow the stories of Meth lab busts, front line importation arrests at the docks with Task Force Polaris, decontamination of suburbs by the cleanup crews, forensic teams tracing precursors and toxicologists investigating human impact from passive Meth cooking.

    What’s the point of chasing after an addict when they clearly know where he has just bought them from, I thought the main point was to catch the drug dealers…
  • @azmedz
    Damn damn you don’t have any civil rights in Australia do you?.
  • @duaneayers6117
    Your doctors, nurses, lawyers, school teachers, police officers, politicians and many more are on ice. Sad
  • @needmoreramsay
    I'm all for getting drugs off the streets but randomly pulling over vehicles for no CURRENT reason is a bit too invasive for my liking.
  • @senseipaans
    Feel so bad for his mom. She seems like such a wonderful lady.
  • Gail's son's case just broke my heart to bits. Taylor needs rehab so bad. He needs help to digest his father's loss and any other underlying unsolved situations he has hidden in his subconscious. It is a mistake to look at the users as perpetrators. They are sick and also the victims. The dealers are the problem. When someone suffers from addiction, they are sick and no longer capable of rational thinking.
  • @user-ut6tj2nv9f
    Wow.. They should only be able to stop people that are driving poorly.. Stopping Everyone is a Brutal Way To Police a Community.
  • @oldmanspooky6641
    The police are so polite/kind. They don't even handcuff them. Very professional.
  • Focus on ending the demand, because you will never stop the supply.
  • @guscunnilin
    Randomly pulling people over for no reason seems like bullshit to me. The cops in Australia are draconian. I remember what they did to people daring to walk down the street without a useless mask. Or kicking in someone's door for a "mean treet". I know drugs are a problem, it doesn't mean people should lose their rights. The war on drugs is a dismissal failure. It might be time to try something else
  • @dazadiver
    Strange you show the houses being raided in the working class area’s are shown but the affluent home in the countryside is blurred out!
  • @needmoreramsay
    IF you can stop for a few months (like Jared) without getting very sick or depressed, DO IT !!! Life will be significantly better and continue to improve !! Please don't go back.
  • @Andizu1
    I'm so dumb. Looked at the title and wondered "There's an ice problem in Australia? Isnt it hot over there?" 🤦🏻‍♀️
  • @alumaven
    " We pulled you over for a random drug test "
  • Drug abuse is worldwide in Western countries, especially. To combat this evil we need more community centers, sports centers, and other clubs for kids to go somewhere as they reach teenage years, instead of falling prey to the punk pushers on the streets ! 💔
  • @DNADirekt
    Without drugs it is hard to stand the shit system.
  • so they just pull over anyone they want based on running their license plate and then drug testing them? ima say WHAT? Next they will knocking on your door looking for a drug test.
  • Every addict has to want help. You cannot just bring an addict to rehab. They may rebel. Why do the police have to inform the mother. Hes an adult. I feel for his mothet. Its heartbreaking. Im a recovering addict and it was only when i hit rock bottom that i reached out for help. I went to rehab before for all the wrong reasons and relapsed every time cos i wasn't ready to stop. Thank God eventually i had enough and went and got help. Im in recover y now.
