I had not intended to speak on this section.
With regard to the restriction on advertising during a sports event, I need clarification about section 14(1) that reads: "a person shall not advertise, or cause to be advertised, an alcohol product in or on a sports area." In terms of horse racing, there are advertisements within the circumference of a racetrack. Is the campus of the racecourse covered by the provision? The campus is not a public area as it might be privately owned by a trust, company or whatever. I presume the provision is not confined to the racetrack but the whole racecourse. I would like the matter clarified.
