If this editorial signals a such a change of focus then that is to the good. I await hopefully.

I had a letter published in the AGE when it was started claiming that it was a crap plan that could not work.

I was right on the issues I identified which were alcohol abuse - simply telling people they cannot drink without having substance abuse treatment wasted everyone’s time.

Finding all this child abuse without abuse services would fail - they haven’t found anyone at all yet and it doesn’t look like they will.

Paul Toohey’s brilliant, angry and brutally honest essay for the Quarterly sums it all up very nicely.
