"This says quite clearly that the government is not committed to ensuring that people in the home are safe." South Australian survivor-advocate Stacey Nelan spoke to ABC Radio Adelaide earlier this week after hearing the Malinauskas Government will rewrite its long-overdue reforms to alcohol laws.

Australia's national crisis of gender-based violence requires urgency from all of our leaders. But what we've seen in South Australia is a government stalling on common-sense reforms to alcohol delivery laws for 18 months and counting. Read more: https://bit.ly/4wbgZSI

The South Australian Government has back-pedalled on a promise to "immediately" act on curbing alcohol-related domestic, family and sexual violence. For more than 18 months, it's stalled on common-sense, evidence-based and community-backed reforms to address unregulated alcohol delivery.

Pull up a stool, folks! As Bowel Cancer Awareness Month comes to an end, we wanted to point out that alcohol is linked to an increased risk of developing Australia's second deadliest cancer. It's 1 of 7 cancers with known links to alcohol. Cutting back can help reduce your risk.

"Sport should unite us, and only divide us along the lines of who we support." Tarang Chawla says that the Federal Government should recognise how alcohol and gambling accelerate violence against women and children, and phase out these ads around the AFL, NRL and other major sports events.

Matt is giving back to his community in ways he never once imagined, one stride at a time, after swapping alcohol for running. It's a decision he credits with transforming his sleep, mental clarity and purpose. Learn more at benicetobrain.org.au #BeNiceToBrain #MensHealthWeek

This week, Australia is again having a national conversation about the crisis of violence towards women and children. In @womensagenda.bsky.social., Katherine Berney calls on our leaders to go beyond speaking solemnly about the heartbreak of violence, by acting on systems that fuel this harm.

In a new article for Women's Agenda, FARE Prevention of Gendered Violence Director Katherine Berney shares how the recent @cnn.com investigation into harmful online communities highlights the need for systemic change to address gender-based violence before it starts. https://bit.ly/48taj8T

Just like you, we think sports should support our kids to grow up healthy and active. So why is there a loophole in our free-to-air TV rules that allows alcohol companies to run their ads during ANY sports program? https://fare.org.au/have-your-say-to-reduce-alcohol-ads-on-tv/

Mitch Brown knows how sport plays a vital role in shaping young men's behaviours because, like his peers, he was a role model for boys who watched him play footy. That's why Mitch wants alcohol ads, what he calls the AFL's "cultural wallpaper", booted from the game. https://giveusanadbreak.org.au/

Our message to the re-elected Malinauskas Government is undeniably clear. Your proposed life-saving alcohol reforms have been on the table for more than a year. You made a promise to fast-track these reforms if you were returned.

Every child should be free to grow up without being flooded with imagery and messages about products we know cause harm. Whether they are waiting for the bus, watching sport or browsing online, children are constantly exposed to gambling, alcohol and unhealthy food ads. #GiveUsAnAdBreak #auspol

Gambling, alcohol and unhealthy food ads follow us everywhere we go: across social media, sport, TV and streaming, and on the street. That’s what we want to change through ‘Give us an ad break’, which we launched alongside the Alliance for Gambling reform and the Food for Health Alliance last week.

Yesterday, we’re launching ‘give us an ad break’. Can you imagine an Australia where your feeds are free of alcohol ads. Where sport is about the game, not the odds. Where your children can catch the bus without seeing a barrage of fast-food brands. giveusanadbreak.org.au

Give us an ad break | Less harmful ads. Everyone benefits.

Imagine an Australia with less gambling, alcohol and unhealthy food ads. It's time to give us an ad break. Put people before profit.

Every boy should feel confident to grow up without feeling confined by narrow stereotypes of masculinity, including norms around alcohol. When boys feel pressured to act tough, strong and stoic, this has potential to cause harm to themselves and others. These harms are preventable. #NPC #auspol

Women and children in South Australia experience violence exacerbated by alcohol, every day. Premier Peter Malinauskas promised his government would look to pass changes to alcohol delivery laws before the state election.

South Australia has a golden opportunity to lead the nation on long overdue, common-sense changes to alcohol laws that would help reduce violence towards women and children. But progress on the bill is stalling. #auspol #sapol
