How Meth Addiction is Draining the Lifeblood of Australia | Ice Wars (EP 2/4)

Small towns are quite vulnerable to the effects of social dislocation caused by desperate users.

In Nowra, an astonishing percentage of drivers test positive for substances and in Lismore a dealer is arrested with a trove of crystal. Small town community leaders regularly work with authorities to confront and resolve the issue. We travel with Anthony Mundine as he visits his hometown of Wellington, a small NSW town that has been devastated by substance use.

This provocative series takes us to the frontline of Australia’s fight on the substance known as Ice. Through unprecedented access, we follow the stories of 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 cooking.
