    Mayors run as individuals, not party lists, so a mayor doesn't actually control who else ends up in council, nor do they control the structure of council.

    Fair point, though the leader of our political parties doesn't get final say on list composition either, and Councils vary about how committee chairs and suchlike are divvied up. Overall, I just think Craig's later clarification was closer than the earlier comment you were responding to.

    Maybe he has cunningly recalibrated my expectations about equivalence..

    Not applying your typical deflection are you Craig?

    Not this time, to be fair - see his 10.44 above.

    I think ALAC are hopelessly conflicted because they're not allowed to just say that alcohol is a drug that causes harm, full stop. No, that would upset the booze industry.

    I would like to see something that tells men it's time to step up and stop being a dick, and that goes for your mates as well.

    Same. I'm imagining something more like the Not OK ads, that taps into male honour and loyalty.

    Here's where alcohol might take a person who would never do this when sober, but under the influence of alcohol they do something horrible to another person.

    I have to say I remain deeply ashamed of stuff I did while blotto many years ago. Sobering. Not sure how advertising would have addressed the situation, other than perhaps reminding mates to look out for one another.

    they can't accurately predict how the message will be perceived because of the variability of the target audience

    Isn't that exactly what social marketers spend rather large sums of money doing? I guess not so much any more given the ripe potential for savings such projects represent..

    Where are women most likely to be assaulted, no matter how they're dressed or how much they've had to drink? At home. And which group is most likely, statistically, to be on the receiving end of a stranger-assault on the side of the road? MEN. Yet where are the 'careful gentlemen, if you get drunk you might get punched in the face' ads?

    Thank you.
