New research reveals almost 80 per cent of South Australians support proposed changes to alcohol laws that would reduce family and domestic violence and protect the community from rising alcohol harm.
The Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE) commissioned Pure Profile to conduct polling to understand community attitudes toward alcohol law reforms aimed at reducing family and domestic violence linked to the online sale and rapid delivery of alcohol.
The polling was conducted online between 9 and 22 May 2025. The sample comprised 1,013 people aged 18 years and over, residing in metropolitan and regional South Australia. The sample is representative for age, gender and location.
Key findings:
- Almost eighty per cent of South Australians believe that the government should prioritise the reduction of alcohol harms over alcohol industry profits when making changes to alcohol laws.
- Over two-thirds of South Australians agree that alcohol delivery into homes should be limited to between 10am and 10pm to reduce family and domestic violence.
- Almost three quarters of South Australians support a two-hour safety pause between ordering alcohol and having it delivered to the home to prevent family and domestic violence.
