Abstract
Queensland is one of the few states in Australia where takeaway liquor cannot be sold in supermarkets and convenience stores, despite calls for reforn from various sectors (including the tourism industry) over the years. This paper discusses the history of liquor regulation in Queensland, together with major reviews of the sale of takeaway liquor to understand why this position seems immutable. It can be argued that the restrictions on purchasing liquor is beneficial to the health of Queenslanders, and is a case of the 'government acting in the best interests of the public’. However, Queenslanders already have the second highest consumption of alcohol per capita in Australia. The regulation of takeaway liquor in a range of other jurisdictions will also be reviewed to give some perspective to the Queensland legislation.
