Australien. ‘The last brave thing that happened’: How the injecting room led the way on drug reform
The Kings Cross injecting room’s first medical director said she doubts the centre would have opened in today’s political environment as it was “the last brave thing that happened” in drug reform.
The injecting room arose out of the Drug Summit held after the 1999 state election and former premier Bob Carr, whose government gave it the green light, said it was “an interesting example of media campaign elevating an issue onto the public agenda”. (Sydney Morning Herald, Australien, 05.05.2021)
