That action will taken in the three interacting areas of cultural values, control measures, and caring services. These three action areas will be supported by an active commitment to resources; to research and evaluation to ensure that the contribution which each part makes is optimal; to cooperative processes to achieve agreement about what needs to be done and the incorporation of harm reduction goals into the culture of all Government instrumentalities. This document represents a beginning. It sets the framework and the spirit in which we aim to begin living with alcohol from this moment. The spirit of the quality of life to which we collectively aspire in the Northern Territory. 10
