'SAFE' INJECTING ROOMS ARE SINISTER

WHAT a sad sight! Grown-ups strolling down Smith Street! Even a mum and
child. A lady holds up a banner saying - "Heroin Trials Now" and "Safe
Houses Save Lives" (TMT, June 2).

Who are these people kidding? Obviously, it's very dangerous to think.
Better to play Yes Minister and bow to the pressure of propaganda. Better
to be candles in the wind.

So come on, dear drug dealers. Sing tantalisingly, for Australia is yours.
We have few police, courts and prisons - and no capital punishment - to
impede business.

We even have the Salvation Army dealing out needles like band-aids. Thank
God for the Salvos! Splendid!

At the frontline of the Heroin Welcoming Committee are groups such as
Steven Jolly's Militant Socialists.

One minute Super Jolly battles - quite rightly - to save a school. But his
latest campaign is over the top.
