As is said in the article, the problem is not so much the process (though I was never a fan of the cumbersome
PR process and comedy option deadlines), but the number of running projects, their funding requirements and the funding that is actually made available (not enough, then it is cut etc.).
What will the ABC process actually change? It sounds almost as if later years will be ignored??
You could argue the 10 year
PR period only really looked ahead 2-3 years ensuring the bow wave that was invariably created looked reassuringly far away....
