WHAT THE TAXPAYERS THINK ABOUT IT

I agree with the heroin trial. It makes injecting as boring as buying
a pair of socks, therefore taking the excitement out of using.

MARIE HAMMOND, Glenbrook

I feel it’s a bloody joke - Junkies are still being supplied by the
dealer parasites through an illegal trade. What message are we sending
our younger generation?

AL MCKAY, St Clair

I’m totally opposed to this heroin injection business. These people
elected to do it themselves and I object to taxpayers’ money being
spent on them.

ELLA WEISER, Eden

The only way to get heroin users off drugs is to make them go cold
turkey. I don’t believe in safe injecting rooms at all...you’re just
encouraging them along.

LOUISE HAYNES, Waterfall

I think that it’s wrong. These people choose to become addicts. Why
should we fix their problem? There are people suffering worse than
them and nobody cares.

JANE ELLIOTT, Strathfield

I would kill the importers. As for those on heroin, perhaps they could
he put on a program where they can rehabilitate themselves. But most
certainly get rid of the importers.

MARK, Mona Vale

What I think of the Government's support of these shooting galleries
is absolute and total disgust. All these people on standby -
supervisers, doctors, cafeteria and private security guards?

Yet if you go to the hospital with a heart attack or an epileptic fit
you sit there for three hours and wait because there aren’t enough
doctors there to take care of you. They are all busy helping the drug
users. As usual, the drug users win again.

MRS HEALEY, Heckenberg

I’m against that heroin trial, giving free heroin to drug users won’t
get them off it. It only legitimises that sordid act and it gives it a
legality and immature people die.
