NUAA would like to show respect and acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora nation as the traditional owners of the land on which User’s News is published. We respectfully acknowledge all Aboriginal nations within NSW where this magazine is distributed.
NUAA is a peer based, community-controlled drug user organisation. We represent the voices and needs of drug-using communities in NSW. NUAA and the community of people who inject drugs were instrumental in averting the HIV epidemic and we remain central to improving the health and human rights of all People Who Use Drugs in NSW. We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the legacy of the peers who went before us and reaffirm our commitment to fighting the effects of stigma and criminalisation in all their manifestations.

On April 27, there were 2 protests around the safe injecting room in Richmond, Melbourne. One was calling for its removal, the other supporting it and recognising that people who inject drugs are part of the community. This followed a number of inflammatory articles in the Herald-Sun. Brit Chapman from Harm Reduction Victoria, one of the organisers of the protest supporting the service, said, “We wanted to let the community know that the haters aren’t the only voices that are there and that there are residents who support the service.”
