Call to lodge submissions on the review of Liquor Act

Newcastle Community Drug Action Team is calling for the community to voice their concerns about alcohol related violence in the region by completing a public submission on the review of the NSW Liquor Act.

The group condems supermarket docket alcohol promotions, believing it fuels alcohol related violence in the region.

Newcastle Community Drug Action Team spokesman Tony Brown says the state government must listen to the community's suggestions, rather than businesses in the liquor industry.

Public submissions on the review of the NSW Liquor Act close August 30.
