Sydney No Longer a “Nanny State”
Over the last 7 years the council has increased the number of alcohol-free zones in the city from 149 to 400 which led to widespread criticism of the city. Many labelled the city boring and dead which is why the mayor has decided to follow the example of cities like Las Vegas and Berlin who have lifted the alcohol bans in streets and parks.
Lord Mayor Clover Moore recently said adults need to be treated as adults and cited new crime statistics to justify removing 62 alcohol free zones in and around the city.
Guests to Sydney often mocked the city for the harsh rules, leading the hospitality industry, music industry and backpackers etc. to welcome the news.

Study Shows Many Against Lockout Laws
The lockout laws that came into effect in NSW in 2014 was welcomed by some but many are still opposed to the laws which include a ban of take-away alcohol after 10pm, no shots, doubles or pre-mixers after midnight as well as no entry to venues after 1.30am and last drinks at 3am.
A survey recently conducted by global events and entertainment network The Socialites,showed that the majority of people are opposed to the liquor legislation introduced in NSW in 2014.
Over 23,500 respondents expressed their disapproval of the laws, calling the rules unjustified. Source: http://www.theshout.com.au/2016/03/21/article/Survey-reveals-majority-say-lockout-laws-are-unjustified/NKXACGBZSY.html

Price of Cheap Wine to Soar under Tax Reforms
In a submission set out by The Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE), the price of the cheapest alcohols would rise, in a measure that would reduce consumption and raise government funds.
The modelling was commissioned by FARE and would include an overhaul of how wine is taxed and would add 10 per cent to current excises.
FARE’s Pre‐Budget Submission 2016‐17 suggests wine and cider be taxed in the same way as beer, base on the volume of alcohol rather than on its selling price, as is the current method of taxation.

New Anti-Crime Strategy In Big Cities
A new strategy involving trouble-spotting reliant on emergency room data of alcohol-related injury will be rolling out in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra, based on the work of ProfessorJohnathan Shepherd.
Welsh Professor, Johnathan Shepherd’s ‘Cardiff Model’ strategy in collaboration with Deakin University has recently won a $1.4million grant from the National Healthh and Medical Research Council (NHMRC).
This method collects information from hospital emergency departments to identify epicentres of alcohol-fuelled, violent behaviour. The information is passed on to police and public health organisations.
The Cardiff Model which has proven successful in other parts of the world including Cardiff, will be implemented in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra over a five-year period.

Alcohol Interlocks for WA Drink Drivers This Year
As of this year up to 5000 drivers will be forced to have alcohol interlocks installed in their vehicles, at their own expense.
Road Safety Minister Liza Harvey said this would help reduce the number of drink driving incidents that we see on the road.
The alcohol interlocks are like breathalysers that prevent high risk offenders from driving a car while drunk.
As of the second half of the year, devices will become compulsory for all motorists convicted of driving with a blood alcohol level in excess of 0.15 and those with more than one excess 0.08 offence.
