38.00 – Question of the Week for Drinkwise.

Mental health is an issue which impacts many in our community. There appears to be a trend of late that public figures will use this as cover for their poor behaviour or when they are caught out. Events last week of a recently retired AFL player a case in point. As soon as mental health issues are claimed, any questioning immediately stops. Do you see a point in time where individuals simply claim mental health and avoid any culpability for their actions?

Interested to hear your thoughts.
