Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).
I wish first of all to gain a few SuperClub points. Senator Quinn says he has spoken to the Minister about the issue, but I raise it to place it in on the record of the House. Senator Quinn is concerned about section 21(1)(b) of the Bill which provides that a seller must affix to any container containing intoxicating liquor to be sold off the premises a label which indicates where it was purchased. Senator Quinn feels this would be extremely time consuming and costly to implement while not having a very great beneficial effect. He suggests that only an off-licence which has already been in trouble should be made to put particulars on the alcohol it sells.
