According to Queensland’s police commissioner, Ian Stewart, we need to act now to address the problem of alcohol fuelled violence which is rife in most parts of Australia.

Following the one punch death of 18 year Cole Miller, Stewart spoke out against what he called a “deep-seated problem in our culture”.

He explained his frustration with the alcohol violence associated with Australian culture, something he said wasn’t acceptable and wasn’t common in other cultures where heavy drinking is the norm.

The call from Mr Stewart came after the state senator Glenn Lazarus called for a senate inquiry into alcohol fuelled violence in the country.

As servers of alcohol we need to be aware of our role in reducing alcohol harm in Australia, which is why we must complete Responsible Service of Alcohol training.
