Canberra Doctor Calls For Alcohol Legislation Reform
A leading Canberra doctor has called for more to be done to enforce the city’s liquor laws, following the one punch assault on New Years Day.
Dr David Caldicott says that alcohol is contributing to the increasing problem of violence in Canberra.
According to the doctor, surveys conducted by the Australian College for Emergency Medicine regularly show that one third of all emergency room presentations around 2am are due to alcohol. And unfortunately in Canberra, this seems to be a common occurence.

Dr Caldicott called on the ACT government to “make meaningful reform to alcohol legislation”.

Queensland Shots Ban after Midnight Condemned
Proposed lockout laws in Queensland would see a ban on serving shots after midnight, which the distilled alcohol industry is understandably upset about.
The Distilled Spirits Industry Council of Australia (DSICA) condemned the proposed laws saying in a submission to the Legal Affairs and Community Safety Committee that the proposed changes were “based on flawed assumptions”.
The DSICA called for more education surrounding the effects of alcohol but said it supported the overall objectives of the Proposed Bill and also shared in the state government’s concerns around irresponsible drinks promotions and alcohol fuelled misconduct.
