On 18 March 2010, Queensland Parliament's Law, Justice and Safety Committee (Committee) tabled its report into alcohol related violence in Queensland. The Committee made 68 separate recommendations to the Queensland Government that have the potential to dramatically change the landscape of Queensland's liquor industry in the short to medium future as these recommended measures are implemented.

Given the bipartisan nature of the Committee, many of its recommendations are likely to find their way into legislation.

Some of the Committee's key recommendations include:

  • that standard on-premises trading hours be 10am to midnight
  • that a 2am lockout apply to all licensed venues

When “Down Down” Wasn’t Really Down - Federal Court Rules Against Coles

In its judgement delivered on 14 May 2026, the Federal Court has found that Coles engaged in misleading conduct in relation to its long-running “Down Down” promotion, accepting the ACCC’s case that many advertised discounts were not genuine. 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.
