Supplying alcohol to minors no minor offence

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 coming days and also displayed at accommodation and entertainment venues at schoolies hotspots like the Gold Coast, Airlie Beach, Magnetic Island and Yeppoon during the lead up to 39,000 school leavers during the annual event.
