Offence of knowingly selling packaged liquor to banned drinker
152ZA Offence of knowingly selling packaged liquor to banned drinker
This section applies if a licence for licensed premises authorises the sale of packaged liquor in a banned drinker area.
A responsible person in relation to the licensed premises must not sell packaged liquor to a person who the responsible person knows, or ought reasonably to know, is a banned drinker.
Penalty for this subsection: a fine of $10 000.
It is a defence to a charge of an offence against subsection (2) for the accused person to prove that —
the person used the ID system in relation to the sale of the packaged liquor to the banned drinker and the ID system did not identify the person as a banned drinker; or
the ID system did not operate properly or was not otherwise able to be used.
