Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Second Stage.
The Minister referred to section 14 and said that he is open to other views on extending, from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m., the time at which those under 15 years must leave licensed premises. It should remain at 8 p.m., however, as that is a reasonable time for any child to leave. If we opted for Senator Norris's amendment, we would be obliged to introduce two identity cards – one for those over 18 and another for those over 15. There would be red and yellow cards, so perhaps we should stick to 8 p.m.
