Mornings With John Mackenzie

John MacKenzie chats with Senator Susan McDonald about a letter signed by the Mayors of Cairns, Townsville and Mount Isa calling for the State Government to introduce a "banned drinking register". A register would be compiled by magistrates who could ban individuals from purchasing takeaway alcohol. Senator McDonald has voiced her support for the move as a positive effort to help curb Queensland's exacerbating crime crisis. Meanwhile, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has not embraced the idea, declaring the difficulities of its practical application.
