A small number of single-use needles have returned to Melbourne’s Hosier Lane this week as nature begins to reclaim parts of the city during the lockdown.
Needles haven’t been seen in great numbers at the iconic landmark for decades and this recent discovery has given scientists hope that the environment in Melbourne is beginning to heal.
For years now, Melbourne’s heroin community has been confined to a limited number of supervised injection rooms – most notably in North Richmond where the yuppie dog NIMBY cunts there kicked up a stink, saying they didn’t want heroin being brought into their community in such an overt manner.
Independent observers found, however, that the injecting rooms actually reduced the number of needles in the area.
The Advocate reached out to the Victorian Premier’s Office for comment but have yet to receive a reply.
More to come.
