In the NSW parliament, some politicians from the Labor Party which installed the injecting room referred to Drug Free Australia as " peddling misinformation ", claiming that MSIC staff members of the facility had refuted their analysis, referring other members back to the official evaluations.

In turn, Drug Free Australia has documented its allegation that the Sydney injecting room's evaluations were demonstrably the production of partisan sympathizers and colleagues of injecting room staff, responsible for " often providing misleading or totally erroneous conclusions or otherwise failing to make the necessary conclusions from negative data.

" Drug Free Australia has likened the extant criticisms of climate science, where science is alleged to have been manipulated to fit ideological and political ends, to that of its criticisms of the injecting room's scientific evaluations.

The Drug Free Australia 2010 analysis found that the 7 % of clients who attended the centre more than 98 times in a year were still injecting 80 % of the time outside the centre, while the 26 % who visited 10-98 times per year injected 95 % of the time on the street, in a car, a toilet, at home or someone else ’ s home.

Drug Free Australia has noted that for the 1, 506 injectors who most regularly use the centre, who would cumulatively inject somewhere between 6, 000 and 9, 000 times daily, the less than 500 injections in Insite daily represents at best one injection in every 12 by its highest utilizers inside the facility.

Canadian heroin mortality in 2002 / 3 was roughly the same as Australia ’ s at 1 % ( 958 deaths from more than 80, 000 dependent heroin users ) and mortality percentages for 2006 or 2007, Drug Free Australia claims, might well be expected to be little changed.

Drug Free Australia cites two statistics together which demonstrate that the Sydney MSIC cannot statistically claim to save even one life per year.

Drug Free Australia has shown that the 2003 and 2008 MSIC evaluators indefensibly failed to factor the vastly elevated number of overdoses in the centre into their calculations of lives saved.

The Drug Free Australia analysis pointed to data within the report clearly demonstrating that drug-related loitering and drug dealing worsened at the station entrance 25 metres opposite the MSIC and at the rear door of the centre.

A later 2010 evaluation of crime in Kings Cross claimed that drug-related crime had decreased at the same rate as the rest of Sydney after a heroin shortage intervened 6 months before the MSIC opened, but Drug Free Australia has asserted that the evaluators failed to make any mention or assessment of the impact of police sniffer dogs introduced 12 months after the MSIC opened to deter drug dealers and users from the back lanes of Kings Cross, which might well be expected to have decreased drug-related crime more than areas of Sydney not policed by sniffer dogs.
