Review of the Regulatory Framework for the Sale and Supply of Liquor
The recent history of alcohol law reform has seen the lowering of the alcohol purchase age from 20 years to 18 years, the increasing proliferation of supermarkets and dairies selling wine and beer, Sunday trading and longer opening hours for licensed premises.
A comprehensive review of the sale and supply of liquor was announced in August 2008. The review is being conducted by the Law Commission. President of the Law Commission, Rt Hon Sir Geoffrey Palmer is overseeing the process. Sir Geoffrey says, “the Law Commission will conduct this review with vigour and energy.”
