Drugs and Geelong

Don't flatter yourself flog, Corio is full of meth heads just like you.

Reported as of last week:

Heroin trafficking, comprising 4.5 per cent of offences, was concentrated in Yarra, home to Victoria’s controversial injecting room (North Richmond).

And from a couple of years ago:

Frightened Richmond residents say the emergence of a carpark “drug den” is clear proof that the area’s controversial injecting room is failing.

Shocking footage has emerged of a man overdosing in a multi-level carpark known to locals as a “drug den” just metres from North Richmond’s controversial injecting room.

The dramatic video, which was captured last week, shows a man overdosing in the multi-level carpark on Elizabeth St, North Richmond, while paramedics tried to revive him.

The video also shows another male, who appears to be drug affected, behaving erratically.

A shocked onlooker can be heard in the video saying: “I’m so traumatised”.

The confronting incident has led frustrated locals to slam the “failing” injecting room, with residents saying public drug use is “out of control”.

'Drug dens', schools infiltrated by crackheads, the #1 heroin hotspot in the state - sounds like a heck of a time over at Richmond.

An extremely in-depth article published November 2024, I've just picked out a portion of it:

How the 'world's most liveable' city became a drug hellscape

Cultured and classy with a love of fine dining, better coffee and a thriving music scene, it has long scoffed at other Australian cities it felt was beneath it.

www.dailymail.co.uk

It was once called the 'world's most liveable city'. Now a drug plague has left families scared to go outside and house prices are falling - and locals say the 'solution' has only made things worse​

In North Richmond, where the Victorian Government has controversially placed a permanent injecting facility, residents endure daily insight into a part of life they have no interest in participating in.

In August, dramatic footage emerged of what appeared to be a schoolgirl being hit in the face by a drug-affected woman outside the facility.

It is the kind of disturbing incident that now goes unreported to police in the area.

'Guaranteed under reported too as many have given up on reporting crimes as police don't have time to investigate,' one resident claims.

New posts appear practically every day and depict what can only be described as a wasteland of depravity set among suburban family households.

Yarra City Council claims to have spent $1.7million on its 'syringe management services' in and around the precinct sine July 2020 to June this year.

The situation continues to be discussed regularly on Melbourne talkback radio years after the facility opened.
Only recently, 3AW's Tony Moclair unleashed on the toxic environment hard-working residents were made to put up with, comparing it with Los Angeles' notorious Skid Row.

'The absolute disgraceful state of the nearby streets, littered with rubbish, excrement and used syringes is inexcusable,' he told listeners.

'The fact that residents have to walk through this filth and children have to walk past disease-ridden drug paraphernalia, discarded mattresses and garbage-filled trolleys in order to get to school is totally and utterly unacceptable.'

'There is no accountability, there are no consequences, no one owns the area... you report something, they come around, they pick up a bag of rubbish and drive past all the rest of the needles and rubbish and things that are lying around. It's just a joke,' she said.

Much like its football team, the city of Richmond has fallen. The arseh*le of Victoria, if you will.

Wayne Flower wrote that article, not me. Richmond is the heroin and meth capital of the state, and the safe injecting room seems to have further added to the woes of the city.

Lol Croydon. Any bets they're dealing from the gazebo on the alley that connects the station to main street. Sometimes there's 30 campaigners there boozing up, feel sorry for the shop owners that have to put up with them in that same alley.

Crazy to think that the worst suburbs of Geelong still have less crackheads than Richmond. Heroin and meth have overrun the city. Schoolgirls are getting whacked in the head by junkies on their way to school, and the good people of Richmond are doing sweet **** all to stop it. Despicable, spineless gits must inhabit the place.

The number of meth trafficking offences recorded in Bendigo has more than quadrupled year on year, new crime statistics have revealed.

Bendigo has cemented its position as the state’s meth capital, leading Victoria with 139 trafficking offences recorded in the year to September 2024.

In July last year, the regional city overtook traditional hot spots like Melbourne and Shepparton for the dubious title, fresh data from Crime Statistics Agency Victoria shows.

Methamphetamines remained the most trafficked drug in Victoria, with 1360 offences recorded in the year to September 2024.

Greater Bendigo led the state with 139 offences, followed by Melbourne’s CBD.
