It took us a full year of hard work and consultation to produce the current national youth justice strategy. It is out now and is being worked on. Mr. Reid mentioned the national drugs strategy a few times and has been critical of the fact that it has been frequently delayed. He said the report, or at least its first iteration, should be published this month. What is his sense of where it is at? Is work being done on it? Is it more advanced? Has he any idea at all from his work in this area and the feedback?
