TRIAL THE RIGHT THING

Bravo, Mr Carr. You have done absolutely the right thing in allowing a trial
of an injecting room.

Despite the criticism of some, I firmly believe that time will show the
critics that this is a true win-win situation: harm minimisation for drug
users and real benefits for the community at large.

A dose of realism and practical street level policy is sorely needed in the
battle to control the harmful effects of drug abuse.

Dr. Christopher Borton, Rose Bay.
