Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1999 Week 4 Hansard (22 April) . . Page.. 1217 ..
MR MOORE (continuing):
regulated availability. Every single canton in Switzerland said, "Yes, the heroin trials should continue". But the overall majority was around 70 per cent. They had seen it, they had trialled it, and the people said, "Yes, it's a success. Let's keep it going".
Mr Speaker, harm minimisation is definitely the way to go. We have a broad drug strategy, and we will keep working within that broad drug strategy. Mr Speaker, we do not have any such thing as shooting galleries. We are not interested in shooting galleries. Perhaps Mr Osborne was talking about safe injecting rooms.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
MR MOORE (Minister for Health and Community Care) (5.52), by leave: Mr Speaker, I move:
That order of the day No. 6, Executive business, relating to the ACT Drug Strategy - 1999 Draft, be discharged from the Notice Paper.
We had a cognate debate, so we might as well discharge that at this moment.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
