Drug reform will be the focus of a four-day summit to be held later this year in New South Wales after the premier, Chris Minns, fulfilled one of Labor’s key election commitments as part of a $33.9m package to tackle the complex issue.

The premier also announced funding for 12 new drug and alcohol hubs, to be run by not-for-profits, in regional and rural areas including Shellharbour, Orange, Wagga Wagga, Nimbin and Queanbeyan.
