''For syringes found in
the local community - we will come and pick them
up.''
read below...then u know syringes can be found in oz.......
wwww
U read correctly.Oz gavaman have given free needle and
syringe
for almost 20 years to drugs addicts .This NSP
(Needle and Syringe Program)
can save lives from HIV and hepatitis C and saving billions
of dollars in curing them when drugs addicts infected
with shared needle and syringe.
Oz gavaman claimed--
''This has meant that in Australia, HIV infection is very
rare among both injecting
drug users and the wider community. In some countries, such as the
United
States and parts of Europe, where Needle and Syringe Programs were
not
established in time, HIV spread rapidly among injecting drug users
and to the
wider community through sexual contact. In Australia, the level of
HIV infection
among people who inject drugs has remained around 1%, compared to other
countries with levels over 50%.'''

2.Have Oz
gavaman sent the wrong signal to young people and drugs
lords?
while we can understand the benefits of the NSP,we also have to
look at
the down side of the programme.
Does it mean Oz alredy given up in
drugs problems?
I think so.They always say,''If u cant defeat them,join
them!!''
Oz have provided air cond and safe Injection Room to addicts
since
few years ago.
I dunt know Oz tax payers also so kind to provide Needle etc to
addicts.
In this way,i think Oz gavaman shall monopoly selling
drugs
and make more $$ and reduce tax!!

TO CONCLUDE,DRUGS IS A WAY OF LIFE IN OZ.
If u stay in oz,u have to sleep with this problem.
Oz gavaman just take
''problematic drug use
as a public health, rather than a criminal justice
issue''.
In this mind set,u cant tackle the problem!!
Like this Melbourne gavaman message--
''Nearly all people in our communities consume drugs
of some sort, whether it be legal drugs, prescription drugs or
illegal drugs. Although much of the drug use in our communities
does not cause problems, some drug use can have extremely negative
effects on individuals, families and the broader community. Harm
reduction strategies treat such instances of problematic drug use as a public health, rather
than a criminal justice issue. They aim to maximise the
health and wellbeing of individuals, their families and the
community as a whole.''
