Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 497 asked in the Legislative Council on 20 May 2020 by Hon Ken Baston

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

LIQUOR RESTRICTIONS — KIMBERLEY

497. Hon KEN BASTON to the minister representing the Minister for Racing and Gaming:

I refer to the article that appeared on page 4 of the 18 May edition of The West Australian about the pending announcement of restrictions on how much alcohol can be carried in a vehicle within the Kimberley.

(1) Is the minister aware of when these measures will be announced?

(2) Will there be simple and appropriate exemptions available to tourism businesses and remote workers, such as those on pastoral properties?

Hon ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:

I thank the member for the question. The following information has been provided by the Minister for Racing and Gaming.

(1) Regulations to prescribe carriage limits of liquor in prescribed areas of the state are currently being developed specific to the Kimberley region. Following consultation with the relevant stakeholders, the regulations will be finalised and introduced as soon as possible.

(2) Yes.
