As previously reported by Deacons, the Liquor and Other Acts Amendment Act 2008 (Amendment Act) was passed by the Queensland Government last month. The Amendment Act significantly amends the Liquor Act 1992 (Qld) (Liquor Act) with an aim to enhance the role of harm minimisation, increase administrative efficiency, clarify existing provisions and address anomalies.1 Harm minimisation is now the first objective of the Liquor Act.2

A new Section 224 has been inserted to introduce Liquor Accords into the Liquor Act as a voluntary harm minimisation initiative. According to the Explanatory Notes, the intention for the inclusion of Liquor Accords is to clarify the purpose and membership of a Liquor Accord for a locality.

The Court held that 13 of the 14 sample “Down Down” tickets examined in the hearing conveyed false or misleading price discount representations because the stated “was” price had not applied for a reasonable period before the promotion.
