Well, Cashy, you may feel that it was nothing to do with the previous government, but they certainly did nothing to help what was, already a bad situation.
They were told by eminent respected authorities, that it was madness to bring in 24 hour drinking, but they did it anyway...so in my book that makes them partly to blame.

The problem with many of our young people is that they are irresponsible and care not whether they wreck their health(or anyone else's...thinking of alcohol fuelled fights and stabbings here)...they prefer to live in the moment, thinking not of the future.......and they have the money to spend on anything they want...booze drugs etc.
