There is plenty of evidence to show that significant outcomes can be achieved when governments are committed to putting their money where there mouth is. Unfortunately, this has not been the experience in Queensland which has had a long record of poor funding, inadequate services and major gaps in services. Consequently we have fared badly in the annual Drugs, Money and Government reports, and in being a regular recipient of the Dirty Ashtray Award. But ever hopeful, we now look to a new parliament, a new government, and a new Cabinet to address what is an increasing problem littered by drug deaths and distressed families. Hopefully, young lives may come before economic growth and development.
Sessions are also accessible via videoconferencing to regional centres.
