Ice cleared at shoot-up hub

ANY drug of dependence, including ice, will be able to be injected in Melbourne’s new supervised injecting room despite the State Government previously saying it would be banned.

The medically supervised injecting centre’s regulations say any drug of dependence can be injected at the facility, but users must have less than a trafficable amount.

“The Government is following the advice of the expert panel, which includes Victoria Police,” Victoria Mental Health Minister Martin Foley said yesterday.
