Qld Govt calls for public comment on online liquor sales
In recent years, online sales and delivery of food and beverage, including alcohol, has rapidly increased as a result of the pandemic. Some potential risks of this have been identified, especially around minors and unduly intoxicated people accessing liquor.
In response, the Palaszczuk government committed to developing a regulatory framework for online liquor sales and delivery.
“Our current liquor legislation predominantly regulates physical licensed premises; it isn’t designed to regulate online sales and delivery, that’s why we’re committing to develop a modernised framework to regulate online liquor sales and delivery in Queensland,” said Shannon Fentiman, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice.
Following targeted industry stakeholder consultation, the public has been asked to provide feedback and inform the development of regulations for online liquor sales and delivery.
“This is about minimising potential harm and violence, while also recognising how online liquor sales can offer many customers a more convenient option. I would encourage everyone to go online and have their say,” Fentiman said.
