Australian Senate, last sitting of the year. No idea when the Social Media Ban debate is kicking off.

If anyone’s keen, feel free to give a live run-down of anything interesting in this thread.

(sorry about all the edits, just trying to get a decent thumbnail: )

The place it in a machine and it is scanned and compared to a data base.

This came into effect 10 years or so ago.

Now they’re looking to record amounts you buy too because some places allow one bottle or carton per person per day

@Aussiemandeus
Thanks!

That’s madness. If I had to live in the NT again, I’d make sure I went into a different bottle shop every day, take about $200 worth of whatever up to the counter, and then walk out, leaving the drinks behind and taking my cash with me.

But you could be sure my home brew would never run out.

See and that’s the crux of the entire problem.

The banned drinkers register didn’t stop any of the shit they said It would.

I could go down the street now and find people drinking grog under the tree out the front of a corner shop now
