Police urged to crack down on schoolies
The Western Australian Opposition has expressed concern about the approach of police to this year's school leavers' celebrations, saying they are taking a soft stance on drug and alcohol abuse.

Police are expecting 3,000 to 4,000 teenagers to converge on both Rottnest and Dunsborough from next week - other hot spots include Margaret River, Lancelin and Kalbarri.

The Opposition's drug abuse strategy spokesman, Graham Jacobs, says police appear to have conceded defeat in the war against alcohol and drug abuse in the underage community.

Mr Jacobs says a tougher stance is needed to limit the injury toll during the celebrations.

"I mean, the issue is that school leavers don't arrive there by hot air balloon. They arrive by car usually to Yallingup and Dunsborough and there is the potential for damage and I think it is important that that be enforced," he said.
