‘Pay for more murders’: AFP boss says decriminalising drugs won’t stop organised crime

Reece Kershaw will use National Press Club speech to focus on options for combatting transnational crime following Operation Ironside

The Australian federal police commissioner, Reece Kershaw, will use a speech on Wednesday to declare decriminalising drug use will not stop organised crime" because the revenue stream from the trade will continue to fund criminal activities.

Kershaw is expected to use an address to the National Press Club to toughen language around illicit drug use.
