A @GuardianAus article today highlights new research which found children are exposed to alcohol product advertising on commercial television.
The changes proposed by Free TV Australia also don't address a “sports loophole,” which permits alcohol ads during televised sporting events. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) will soon determine whether the new draft code will get the tick of approval.

FARE CEO Ayla Chorley and FARE Lived Experience Advisor @MissKymmie77 joined gendered violence researcher @jessradio yesterday to meet with South Australia Minister for Consumer & Business Affairs @michaels_andrea to discuss the important work underway to amend SA's Liquor Act.
This work follows a commitment by all state and territory leaders at National Cabinet in September last year to take action on alcohol's role in violence against women and children.

We welcome this conversation and thank Minister Michaels for her ongoing advocacy that acknowledges alcohol's role in exacerbating and increasing rates of violence.
