Jilted independent MP Andrew Wilkie says it’s possible the federal government never intended to carry out his plans for poker machine reform.

Mr Wilkie tore up his agreement of support for Labor after it announced on the weekend it was backing down from introducing a mandatory pre-commitment scheme by the end of 2014, in favour of a year-long trial in the ACT.
The Tasmanian MP said he doubted the...

A Queensland pub's licensee has been fined $2500 after staging a wet T-shirt competition that got out of hand. Bowenville Hotel co-owner Alisha Travers conceded yesterday it was a bad idea to hold the competition outside and in front of a large crowd of people, which apparently included children.
The Office of Liquor and Gaming also disapproved, with the pub's licensee pleading guilty in Oakey Magistrates Court on Friday to breaching the Liquor Act by providing adult...

A bluffers' guide to French fizz for the festive season
Champagne, despite all the ritz, has had its detractors over the years. Hawkeye from the classic television series M*A*S*H for one exclaimed “I'll stick with gin – champagne is just ginger ale that knows somebody.” For many this still rings true, but in my view there is simply no better celebratory beverage around. The imbibing of champagne is used to mark momentous or not so momentous occasions alike and...

A new state-wide advertising blitz will spread the message that supplying alcohol to underage teenages is dangerous and could end in an $8000 fine for parents.
Attorney-General Paul Lucas said 2000 bottle shops and hotels would be decked out with posters, postcards and shelf advertising as well as carry messages on paper bags and post-it notes to remind parents that the irresponsible supply of alcohol to minors was illegal. Mr Lucas said campaign materials will be rolled out over...

A bottle shop chain will be added to the NSW Food Authority's name-and-shame list today for failing to correctly label a range of imported beers including Heineken, Carlsberg, Miller and Peroni.
Chambers Cellars, which has 27 stores across NSW, was caught selling the beer without information on the standard drinks, alcohol volume and local contact information, a requirement under federal labelling laws.
The beer, obtained through parallel importing, was seized and the...
