‘Will cost lives’: addiction experts condemn decision to scrap proposed safe injecting room in Melbourne’s CBD theguardian.com/australia-news… via @GuardianAus
In case you missed it earlier - Ellen Sandell was unanimously elected as the Victorian Greens new leader at a party room meeting this morning. Prahran MP Sam Hibbins and upper house MP Sarah Mansfield were appointed as co-deputy leaders. More via the @GuardianAus blog.
The Victorian Greens have labelled the government’s decision not to open a second safe injecting room in the CBD as a “spineless captain’s call” that will “cost lives”. They accuse Labor of back-tracking on progressive reforms introduced under Daniel Andrews.
Lol . “The government is responding to all the recommendations of the Lay Report, delivering on all but one of them” - that is the main one - for a safe injecting room trial.
