State Member for South Eastern Metropolitan Region Inga Peulich slammed the Sex Party’s Fiona Patten’s proposal to establish injecting rooms in our suburbs
In State Parliament, Ms Peulich outlined that this proposal had been discussed repeatedly in the past and despite the fact that there had been rhetoric about “the war on drugs”, there had actually been no such thing.
“Police crime stats show that there had been a whopping 9.5% increase in the City of Frankston and many of these crimes were directly related to drug abuse,” Ms Peulich said.
Ms Peulich suggested that a far more practical solution would be that closed circuit TV be installed so that those who trade drugs could actually be caught and the law exercised to prevent further harm.
“If we further soften policy, we can be looking at drug injecting rooms in Frankston, Seaford and Skye,” Ms Peulich said.
A message that using an illegal substance would be supported by taxpayer money is no way to wage a war on drugs.
“This proposal does nothing to address the scourge of drug use in the City of Frankston,” Ms Peulich said.
