House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Alcohol and Other Drug Strategy Alcohol and Other Drug Strategy Mr DULUK House of Assembly Davenport Alcohol and Other Drug Strategy Mr DULUK (Davenport) (15:01): My question is to the Minister for Substance Abuse. Will the minister acknowledge that the government's Alcohol and Other Drug Strategy 2011-16 has failed to reduce demand and the harms associated with substance abuse in light of the police commissioner's view to budget and estimates last year when he said: I think it is also fair to say that there is an increased incidence of the presence of illicit substances within the community… The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: If you ask a question as rhetorical as that, you will probably get a rhetorical answer. I hope there won't be any objection to that. The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS House of Assembly Taylor Minister for Disabilities Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:01): Considering I wasn't present and I haven't had the opportunity of reading the Hansard that you have quoted, I would like to think about that before I give a more fulsome answer, but I would be happy to say that the vast majority of the strategies put forward under that document were met. We looked at them and I have told the house that before. The member for Davenport repeatedly misrepresents the outcomes of that strategy and selectively reads.
