When your best customers die each year, you have to try "recruit the heavy using loyalists of tomorrow'. (Industry quote).

The ACT has just taken a leap forward in tackling alcohol's role in violence towards women and children.

Today, the ACT Government introduced a bill that acts on the impacts of rapid delivery of alcohol to homes.

ICYMI - Our new research shows alcohol companies disproportionately deliver alcohol to people at high risk of harm. In this brief read, we cover harms of unchecked online sale & delivery of alcohol + a current opportunity the SA gov has to address these harms fare.org.au/alcohol-deli...
Alcohol delivery exposes people to greater harm, South Australia can lead the country with vital safeguards
The emergence of the online sale of alcohol for delivery to homes means alcohol is more available and there is heightened risk of harm to our community.

Excited to share the first results out of my ARC Early Career Industry Fellowship – starting with these timely results.
The emergence of un-checked online sale and delivery of alcohol to the home has seen an expansion in the availability of alcohol and heightened risk of harm to our community.

Good news story! Today the ACMA announced the decision to not register revisions the commercial TV industry proposed for the Commercial Television Industry Code of Practice. This means that 800+ additional hours will not open up for alcohol ads to further flood our TVs.
We have some fantastic news for your Friday.

A proposal that would have opened up an additional 800 hours every year for commercial TV networks to run alcohol ads will not go ahead!

Excellent editorial in the @theguardian.com yesterday

"Politicians who are serious about public health can’t ignore the rising toll of illness and death linked to drinking."

Government decisions must be guided by health, not industry lobbying.

A timely study drawing attention to the mandatory requirements now in place for alcohol companies to display the evidence-based pregnancy health warning. The study shows that many alcohol companies delayed introducing the warnings during the lengthy three-year transition phase.
