Cash for crackdown

Canberra: Police forensic chemists are to receive an extra $200, 000 over the next 4 years to help crackdown on the growing number of hidden drug laboratories.

Justice Minister Chris Ellison said the money would be provided under the national strategy to prevent the diversion of precursor chemicals which are used in the illegal manufacture of amphetamines.
