Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Second Stage.
Any measures we can introduce to control what is happening are welcome. The measure existed previously, but it was not a regulation. I would like the Minister to have it provided in the legislation that pubs must use closed circuit television within and outside their premises. The great benefits of the use of CCTV are evident and I would like to see the Minister impose its use on publicans. I agree with many of the provisions. My big problem with the legislation, however, is that it will not be enforced because the resources are not available to do so. I look forward to the rest of the debate.
