Restricting Sale of Liquor Law in New South Wales
Consul FW Goding of Newcastle notes New South Wales enacts a stricter liquor law after a short trial. Police gain enforcement power with a shifted burden of proof to hotelkeepers and offenders. Prohibits serving liquor to under 14, selling to under 18, and prohibits drinking on premises during prohibited hours. Travelers and lodgers may drink during those hours. Courts require the accused to prove traveler status or face penalties. Overall, fewer drunken incidents and lower crime, despite some tensions.
