Exploring research on involuntary treatment/civil commitment: Claire Wilkinson

Often literature does not distinguish between civil commitment/compulsory treatment assoc with criminal charges. This complicates the evidence base and figuring out what to attribute outcomes to.

The launch of drug expenditure in Australia 2021/22 - sadly harm reduction is still way underrepresented Drug Policy Modelling Program (DPMP), UNSW We need much more equitable spending.

Retweeting this again because it’s the highlight of my year and career. Sarah Clifford is open to being poached from next year but you best give her back once you’ve trained her better than I can (we’ve got a lot of work to do in the NT still) ❤️

I have gone to #KBSConf every year of my PhD and it is truly a highlight of doing alcohol research

Such a treat to submit my thesis on the big screen with two of the best supervisors Michael Livingston and Cass

Absolutely over the moon to be with Sarah Clifford as she submits her PhD - a joy to work on this project with her and to talk it all over as we run around the edge of various conferences and meetings. Cass was her primary supervisor and did a truly brilliant job

So proud of people out at Lee Point trying to stop this. What a failure of a country we are that we can't protect this precious habitat

Some comments from me here on Scottish Government's proposal to increase the Minimum Unit Price threshold.

But I want to talk about the *tremendous* bad faith contribution from Miles Beale to this article.

Isn't Gauteng Provincial Gov Premier Lesufi endorsing Heineken on same day👇as he is speaking at #CDASumit2023 ? We have an oversupply of industrially produced beer, often sold in unregulated outlets, in large bottles, with few controls on marketing. Incompatible Panyaza Lesufi? #PassLiquorBillsNow

Closed out #APSAD23 by sneaking my grandma in to watch our symposium. She loved all of your posters and is planning to spread the word on some of it to her mates #knowledgetranslation
