Legislation that will enact the Government's proposed liquor law changes has been introduced to Parliament and Justice Minister Simon Power says it is just the starting point for reform.
The Alcohol Reform Bill is to have its first reading on Thursday, then will go to a select committee for public submissions.
The previously announced proposals include splitting the alcohol buying age - it will be 18 for bars and 20 for off-licences - limiting the alcohol content of ready-to-drink spirit mixes (RTDs), banning particularly harmful products, reducing opening hours and putting new rules around the supply of liquor to minors. > > > >
