Canning Liberal candidate Andrew Hastie outlined a plan to tackle the impact of the drug ice in the Canning electorate on Friday.
At a meeting in Armadale with Commonwealth justice minister Michael Keenan, state police minister Liza Harvey, state corrective services minister Joe Francis and state mental health minister Helen Morton, Mr Hastie said he would develop and implement a "Canning Ice Action Plan" within his first 30 days of office, if elected.
Although not revealing details of what the plan would entail, Mr Hastie said he would use his experience as an Army captain to coordinate an approach to dealing with drugs and crime.
“Getting the decision makers here today to work towards a solution is the important first step toward getting real action happening on the ground,” he said.
Labor’s Matt Keogh criticised the announcement, saying the prime minster Tony Abbott and Andrew Hastie had failed to match Labor's announcement of $3.2 million to combat ice.
“Mr Hastie also refused to stand up against Tony Abbott’s cuts which put at risk $2.7 million of funding for rehabilitation and drug avoidance services in Canning,” Mr Keogh said.
"The people of Canning have an opportunity to send a message to Tony Abbott that they’re not happy about his cuts to combatting ice."
On Thursday, Mr Keogh and Bill Shorten revealed a package to tackle drugs in Canning, including a commitment of $80,000 for new CCTV cameras in Mandurah crime hot-spots.
