This paper outlines an alternative strategic framework to respond to the Australian crystal methamphetamine (ice) drug problem. The authors argue that it should include three elements: 1) integration – drug initiative should be integrated into a strategically focused harm reduction strategy; 2) innovation – education, health and law enforcement stakeholders should be free from the limitations of wholly quantitative performance measures; and 3) disruption – the initiatives should be focused on the disruption of the problem, rather than the treatment of symptoms of the problem.
