A Melbourne radio host has called on the Victorian government to weigh the benefits a CBD safe injecting facility will have for drug users against the “detriment it will cause for everybody else”.
A Melbourne radio host has delivered a scathing rebuke of the government's proposed CBD safe injecting facility warning it would make the city"immeasurably worse".
Melbourne radio host Tom Elliott said a safe injecting facility in Melbourne's CBD would be good for drug users but would make area in which it's located"immeasurably worse" for everyone else. Picture: Supplied “However, experience with the first injecting room, the one in North Richmond suggests that for everybody else, a second injecting room in the CBD will be a terrible, terrible idea.”
