BANNED DRINKERS REGISTER
TRIAL — PILBARA
119. Hon COLIN HOLT to the minister representing the
Minister for Racing and Gaming:
I refer to the proposed trial of a banned
drinkers register in the Pilbara.
(1) Does the
trial require legislative change; and, if so, when will that legislation be
presented to Parliament?
(2) If no to (1), does it require only a change to
regulations; and, if so, when will those regulations be gazetted?
(3) If legislation or regulation is
not required, how will the trial be enforced?

AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice
of this question. The Minister for Racing and Gaming has provided the following
information.
(1)–(2) No.
(3) The current
provisions relating to barring notices under section l15AA of the Liquor
Control Act 1988 and prohibition orders under part 5A of the Liquor Control Act
1988 will be used as the mechanism to identify banned drinkers. Although
licensees' participation in the trial will be voluntary, it is an
offence for a licensee to knowingly permit a person issued with a barring
notice or a prohibition order to enter or remain on licensed premises. It is
also an offence for a person who has been issued with a barring notice or
prohibition order to enter or remain on licensed premises. Future legislative
amendments may be considered if necessary and if the trial is deemed effective
through its evaluation.
