Stop advertising alcohol on public transport
alcohol = leading cause of death and disability
among young males ages 15-24 in almost all regions of the world + among females in that age group in the wealthy countries & the Americas
there is ample cause for concern about the short-and long-term impact of youth exposure to alcohol advertising
the federal government retains regulatory control of substantial advertising policy
There is a need for strong, independent, legislated controls on all forms of alcohol advertising and promotion in Australia

leaving regulation of advertising to the alcohol and advertising industries does not work
alcohol industries: unable to prevent the exposure of children and young people to alcohol promotion

pricing will play the most significant role: A change in the tax regime increasing alcohol excise by 10% will reduce availability, have an impact on chronic disease and reduce alcohol-fuelled violence
The state & territory governments want to remove alcohol advertising from buses, they wanted to show that they supported taking action on such advertising without requiring federal government approval
were starting to take strong action against the alcohol industry rather than wait for the federal government to lead
alcoholic beverages: listed as ninth in the top 20 advertising categories
