There are continued calls to tighten alcohol laws in New Zealand.

The growing trend of online deliveries has made advocates worried, with a study finding a large portion of alcohol deliveries bypassed ID checks.

Meanwhile, Auckland's new alcohol policy, starting December 9, will reduce sales hours and tighten regulations on new liquor licenses.

Across the ditch, New South Wales is looking to introduce new rules to regulate pre-mixed alcoholic beverages, especially those with candy-like flavours and colourful packaging.

So, should there be more restrictions around the sale and advertising of alcohol in New Zealand?

Today on The Front Page, we speak to Alcohol Healthwatch executive director, Andrew Galloway on where we should scale up restrictions first, and later to New Zealand Alcohol Beverages Council executive director Virginia Nicholls for the industry’s reaction.
