Indeed, Senator Mason, he is a fine individual and he gave an excellent presentation. Mr Chris McIndoe from the Heritage Hotel in George Town presented his own views on the importance of the supply of alcohol and the importance from his perspective of limiting supply. We appreciated his input. Dr Michael Aizen is a past president of the AMA in Tasmania and presented his own views on the responsible consumption of alcohol.
We also had the benefit of Inspector Reynolds from Tasmania Police. We want to thank the police for the important role they play in ensuring that alcohol is consumed at an appropriate time and place. A number of recommendations have been prepared and they will be an important contribution to not only the state and federal levels of the Liberal Party but also public policy, and we appreciate the contribution— (Time expired)
