So when the ABS announces that Australians are drinking

staff will work professionally to support the community’s
efforts to serve and consume alcohol responsibly.
The unfair portrayal of ‘drunken violence in war-torn Perth’
is disappointing. Perth’s licensed venues remain the safest
place to drink and socialise and our offer is world class. The
efforts of licensees and their staff should be recognised
instead of trodden on whenever there is a public holiday
or special event.
Indeed at the most recent Perth liquor accord meeting,
Police Liquor Enforcement Unit Officers said that “stats
inside licensed premised were down over the last three
years”. This is good to know and licensees are to be
commended.
