新南威尔士州的毒品转移计划失败, 大多数原住民被送上法庭. NSW drug diversion program fails, sending most Aboriginal people to court.

调查显示, 新南威尔士州的毒品转移计划没有达到预期. A new analysis of New South Wales's drug diversion program reveals it is failing to work as intended. 在2024年2月至2025年3月期间, 几乎12,000起符合条件的事件中只有9%导致法院转移. Between February 2024 and March 2025, only 9% of nearly 12,000 eligible incidents resulted in diversion from court. 据统计, 在每11名符合条件的原住民中,10人被送往法庭而不是接受罚款或治疗. 而非原住民则是三分之二. Data shows a stark racial disparity, with 10 out of every 11 eligible Aboriginal people sent to court instead of receiving a fine or treatment, compared to two out of three non-Aboriginal people. 倡导团体认为该计划反映了系统性歧视, 并没有对原住民社区的帮助. Advocacy groups argue the program reflects systemic discrimination and is failing First Nations communities.
