All day it poured in, email after email.
So much information to take in - not just the White Paper for Vulnerable Children itself, but the flood of responses.
There were so many organisations having a say on the Government's plan: teachers, nurses, children's advocates, Maori children's's advocates, children's charities, the Families Commission, Plunket, early childhood educators, social services.
And so they should - looking after the welfare of kids is about as important as it gets.
Usually when the Government puts out a new policy, the overwhelming majority of responses are knocking it down.
