No silver bullet in the binge drinking debate
Posted by Senator Steve Fielding on September 04 2009 | 8 Comments | Read more »
Australia’s binge drinking culture sure is a divisive issue. But to put it simply we have two options. Stand by and do nothing and risk the $16bn alcohol toll escalating further out of control, or do something to break the cycle and make us a safer country.

I’m going to do something here that most pollies wouldn’t do and ask for help. Help in trying to address Australia’s $16bn alcohol toll.

Posted by Senator Steve Fielding on August 12 2009 | 15 Comments | Read more »
Whether you sit on the left or right side of the political spectrum, it is important the Australian public are aware of the coalition’s current agenda. It is an agenda which puts at risk everything this country has worked hard to achieve, including financial prosperity and security. It is an agenda which is self interested and is not in the best interests of this country.

About Steve Fielding
Steve Fielding knows a lot about families – he grew up in a family of 16 children and is a proud family man himself. He has been married to Susan for 22 years and they have three children: James, 19, Campbell, 18 and Gabrielle, 14. Steve and Sue live in Wantirna South, an outer suburb of Melbourne.
Steve, who is 48, was born in Reservoir in Melbourne’s northern suburbs. As a child growing up he thought his family was the typical Aussie family – however Steve now realises that ‘typical’ is not the best way to describe the Fielding family.
