Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
Many people are getting a bit worked up on this subject. I am very flattered by Senator Leyden's suggestion that I am reasonable, but I am not being unreasonable in saying that this is the only way to make this legislation workable. If I acceded to the notion that 16 and 17 year olds should be allowed to loiter in public bars and hotels after hours, then the whole effect of this Bill would be more or less lost.
