The Leader of the Opposition is disconnected from this problem. They might not sell a hell of a lot of alcopops on the North Shore of Sydney but they certainly do in my electorate of Dobell on the Central Coast. They also sell a heck of a lot of them in Western Sydney and Newcastle. I challenge the opposition leader to travel up the F3 on a Friday or Saturday night and see the consequences first-hand of cheap and available alcopops and what effect they have on our youth. He may ask people in the shopping centre whether luxury cars are on the top of their agenda.
