Do you think the drug ice is a big problem here?

Lesley Cheshire
People our age don't see the young people who are using, unless it's family member or you're in the medical profession. It's a problem everywhere and no doubt it is in Coota but I haven't seen it.

Bryan Gawthrop
Not that I'm aware of. I have no personal experience with it.

Paul Lukins
Apparently so, it's a big problem everywhere so they say. I haven't witnessed it but I've heard stories from friends. I'm doing my best to make sure my kids don't get mixed up in it.

Tony James
I think it is a big problem in Australia. It's like most of those drugs, it's the in drug at the moment and it will wear out in time.

Kasey Medway
As a police officer, I don't believe it's a big problem at the moment but it is a growing problem. If the community doesn't help us it will turn in to a big problem.
