The ACT is one step closer to implementing life-saving updates to its alcohol delivery laws, as advocates urge the territory government to implement its Liquor Amendment Bill as soon as possible, following today’s report from the parliamentary committee looking at the Bill.
“We welcome the Committee’s support of the Bill, and in particular its recommendation that the ACT Government amend the Bill to make harm minimisation the paramount object of the Liquor Act,” said Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE) CEO Ayla Chorley.
“This would mean any government decisions relating to alcohol, such as approving liquor licences, must place the impact to community health and safety first, not the profit of large corporations.”
