Abstract
Sydney's Medically Supervised Injecting Centre delivers the significant benefits of harmreduction, but has been controversial regards the law. Its contested history is examined herethrough the Jens of legal geography. Narrative analysis reveals that the arguments for andagainst the centre's establishment referenced matters ranging from international treatiesthrough to municipal govenance. These arguments and their outcome were variouslyshaped by the different spaces and scales of jurisdiction but not simply in a zero sum gameof law played out through the hierarchically ordered nesting of container-like territories. Theimplications for legal geography and for public health are discussed.
