@ALeighMP @AustralianLabor It's embarassing.

@abcnews Yet you never bothered to report on the riot police sent out to hunt down anyone going against Dan's tyrannical orders and human rights abuse.

"You're a disgrace!"

A heckler has taken aim at Daniel Andrews during a press conference this morning, shouting at the Premier as he stepped up to address the media. #SpringSt #9News

Dan Andrews… “every vaccinated person is one less person contributing to someone else ending up in hospital”

CDC Director… “THE VACCINES DO NOT PREVENT TRANSMISSION”

Irish judge rejects injecting room because it was near a school.

The clinical psychologist is recorded as saying that children “model” their lives and behaviour on the many influences they are exposed to: what they see will influence what they will do

@IsobelDulcie Also waste water analysis shows that around 20M shots of heroin are taken each year

Did you know that syringe distribution from NRCH increased 460% to 2.3Million a year in 2018. Syringe distribution continued to rise 15.4% in the first year of the injecting room compared to the year before.

@IsobelDulcie around 77,000 injections a year were performed in the room. NRCH distributed 2.3M a year or 6,300 a day

An article by @heyracheddie in @theage claims that most users of the MSIR live nearby, but then goes on to show that they, in fact, don't

@garydans @purdz83 @3AWNeilMitchell Interestingly, she wanted hard evidence and statistics to show her where to build a second CBD injection room, but then ignored the hard evidence and statistics that North Richmond is worse off.

Did you know that a survey of businesses along Victoria Street in mid 2019 showed that 87% said that turnover had decreased, on av. by 42%. The cause was an increase in drug use. 92% of businesses said that drug use had increased, with 86% saying that the increase was large.

[MRAC: Community | Safety | Relocate @MRACGroup]

@bloodiedwombat the survey did not say the reason why turnover had massively decreased, but it did say the reason that the businesses on Victoria street thought it was. If you'd like to read the whole info, then please do so here: https://t.co/EeDV028jMj and here: https://t.co/Vckay3Y141

@bloodiedwombat Hi Adam, we never treated the good people of Victoria Street like idiots, but merely wanted to hear their stories and opinions in the survey. In mid-2017 there was only a 11% vacancy rate along Victoria street. Only two years later this tripled to 32%

@JoelDFleming good in theory, however in North Richmond, there was at least 46% more needles on the streets in the first 2 years of the MSIR compared to beforehand. #honeypot @georgiecrozier

[MRAC: Community | Safety | Relocate @MRACGroup]

@DavidHodgettMP indeed in North Richmond we have seen big increases in violent and antisocial crimes. Robbery increased 59.5%, Stalking, harassment and threatening behaviour up 37.1%, Weapons and explosives offences had increased 19.1
