I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(3) The
state government is considering a number of options to tackle alcohol-related
harm and protect vulnerable Western Australians.
We are currently strengthening the
banned drinkers register trial, and proposed reforms are set to come into effect midyear. We are also reviewing Western
Australia's liquor laws to introduce a range of reforms to
further reduce alcohol-related harm in the community.
There is no easy fix. It is a longstanding,
complex issue. We are committed to working with local communities and industry,
but we need them to play a meaningful role.
