An Australian criminologist professor Paul Wilson stated that every year in Australia illegal drug use costs the nation $3.8 billion. It has been claimed by the Australian Sex Party personal drug use should be decriminalized and rehabilitating drug abusers should be preferred rather than sending them to prison.

In Sydney at the launch of the party's revolutionary drug law policy Fiona Patten, party president and Victorian Senate candidate, stated that if a seat was won by the party in federal parliament then decriminalization of personal drug use can be a possibility.

It should be however be noted that legalization of possession and consumption of drugs for personal use will not be supported and the new policy is going to support decriminalization up to a total of 14 days' supply per person.

Legalization of use of cannabis for specific medical usage is also being called by the party. Apart from this for registered users heroine prescription is also there.

Patten however assured that it would be a criminal offence to do drug trafficking, dealing and supplying of drugs to a minor.

She said that a decade ago in Portugal this policy was implemented that has led to a decline in drug use in Portugal.

Patten said, “The Australian Sex Party is first and foremost a civil liberties party, but it's also about getting government intervention out of people's lives, allowing adults to make those decisions for themselves.”
