Opened the debate
Gallagher moved an amendment to the motion regarding the bills. The amendment cited research from Australia's National Research Organisation for Women's Safety indicating alcohol involvement in up to 65% of police-reported family violence incidents. It also referenced the Commonwealth Government's Rapid Review of Prevention Approaches and the South Australian Royal Commission into Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence. Gallagher called on governments to strengthen alcohol regulations, including time restrictions on sales and advertising limits.
