Review of the Regulation of Alcohol Advertising

In May 2006, the Government initiated a review of the current self-regulatory framework for alcohol advertising in New Zealand, acting on a recommendation from the Health Select Committee.

The goal of the review was to assess whether or not the current regulatory framework for alcohol advertising is in harmony with the aims of the Government in regard to alcohol policy, and if not, what must be done to achieve this. A Steering Group was established to oversee the review.
