INJECTING ROOM A BAD MOVE

Bravo! The safe (?) injecting room will not be in Garema Place, away
from the view of the police station, and moved near to Jolimont
Centre, the end station of several interstate buses, in a dimly lit
area, remote from the city bus terminals. Has anyone considered the
effects of this move on the much-coveted tourist industry, let alone
the safety of the local pedestrians, elderly people and the university
students? And in what way will this diminish the drug trade in the
inner city? This is a counterproductive measure this city will regret.
Instead of getting more "counsellors'' we should have more police and
tougher treatment and laws against pushers big and small.
