Liquor stores—Ram raids—Carnarvon
118. Hon Neil Thomson to the minister representing the Minister for Racing
and Gaming:
I refer to recent
ramraids in Carnarvon on liquor stores.
(1)
Has there been any analysis of the number of attacks on liquor establishments
since the imposition on restrictions and, if yes, is there a trend of
increasing attacks?
(2)
Has there been any analysis of the rising use of fitpacks and probable drug use
as a result of liquor restrictions and, if yes, is there any probability of
causality between the availability of liquor and rising drug use?
(3)
How many times has the Director of Liquor Licensing met with the minister to
discuss these matters?
