Engender Equality welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the Tasmanian Government’s proposed liquor licensing reforms. It is commendable that the consultation paper has stated the Government’s intention to adopt a “risk-based approach to managing the harms from liquor” and to consider alcohol’s role in family and domestic violence. In order to do this, Engender Equality advocates
for a well-informed analysis of the role of alcohol in reinforcing behaviours and systems that condone violence against women.
