View: Government Response

Overview

On 4 August 2009, the Law, Justice and Safety Committee received the following referral from the Parliament:

That the Law, Justice and Safety Committee conduct an inquiry and report on alcohol related violence in Queensland, with a focus on community safety and preventative measures to reduce levels of alcohol related violence, including its ramifications.

In undertaking this inquiry, the committee should consider:

• best practice harm minimisation measures in other Australian and international jurisdictions, including specific measures such as restrictions on the use of glass; 
• the impact of late opening hours on incidences of alcohol related violence; 
• the flow-on issues for emergency service workers, police and front-line health workers of alcohol related violence; 
• education campaigns and their role in cultivating effective social change in terms of community attitudes to alcohol consumption; 
• the role of parents in influencing the attitudes of young Queenslanders towards alcohol consumption; and 
• the economic cost of alcohol related violence. 

Further, the committee should take public submissions and consult with community leaders, educators, law enforcement, medical professionals and the liquor industry.
