AnswerView source ↗

I am answering this question on
behalf of the Minister for Emergency Services representing the Minister for
Racing and Gaming.
The
McGowan government recently announced a range of proposals to strengthen and
enhance the banned drinkers register,
including additional pathways for individuals to be placed on the BDR. These
proposed reforms are informed by an independent evaluation report, and
feedback from industry, service providers, police, local government and the
community.
(1) One resident
of Laverton has been placed on the register. No residents of Leonora have been
placed on the register.
(2) As of 26 October 2022, 28
residents of the goldfields are on the register.
