It really does.
64 400 000 needles & syringes were distributed by community NSPs in 2024/25 up from zero 40 years ago. So much harm reduction. In prisons, instead we have harm production policies for lack of the same courage and political will. Shameful stuff.

I once heard about a young doctor who started distributing clean needles to help prevent an HIV epidemic despite the law prohibiting such action. Convincing police to tacitly condone it and a Liberal govt to change the legislation must have seemed insurmountable. Such courage. We owe that guy a lot.

Agree on decarceration / justice reinvestment.
PNSP is current national policy and a human rights obligation. What's the point signing international human rights agreements and formulating national policy if we're not going to implement?
We should do both these things.

The battle continues for NSP access in Australia's prisons where drugs, dirty needles, and people who inject are commonplace.

Angus Taylor caught fabricating immigration numbers in a shocking trainwreck on #abc730 - Taylorโs 500k claim is not only false, but
Ferguson โThe 500k figure was put in place by policies that were agreed on by the cabinet that you were part ofโ๐ฅ
