Description
Petrol sniffing causes devastation in Indigenous communities. The health impacts include chronic disability and the social impacts include violence, crime and the breakdown of community structures. This report argues that measures to deal with the problem are now well known; the priority is to harness Commonwealth, state and territory governments and Indigenous community members to implement strategies that will really make a difference.
