Pina Bampi tried ice and knows many who now can't give it up. "Ice is horrible, horrible," she says. "People are different when they use it - it does something to your mind." A decade ago at one clinic in Adelaide, 80% of patients were being treated for heroin; now just 30% are, while half are amphetamine users. University of Adelaide pharmacology and addictions expert Professor Jason White, who works with the clinic, says abuse of prescription opiates like morphine has also become more of a problem.

Good intelligence - and the fear the Mob evokes across Sicily through its code of silence, omertà - keeps Provenzano out of prison. There were reports that he checked into a clinic three years ago in the southern city of Agrigento for what some believe is a prostate illness. Aldo Piscopo, the medical director of the clinic, Clinica Sant'Anna, doesn't deny the possibility, but says: "How could we have known? We are busy here, and he obviously wouldn't walk...
