The Debate
What different members said when this bill was debated:
“I rise as the lead speaker for the opposition in support of the Liquor Licensing (Royal Commission Recommendations) Amendment Bill 2026. This bill is importantly about implementing recommendations arising from the Royal Commission into Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence. The Liberal opposition supports the work of the royal commission and we support the implementation of its recommendations.”
Carlos Quaremba PHON
“I rise to speak on the Liquor Licencing (Royal Commission Recommendations) Amendment Bill 2026. This bill implements recommendations 128 and 129 of the SA royal commission’s final report into domestic violence and sexual violence handed down in August 2025.”
Sarah Game NULL
“I rise to speak on the Liquor Licensing (Royal Commission Recommendations) Amendment Bill 2026. The bill comes before us following recommendations arising from the royal commission and I want to be clear from the outset: Family First expects strong and effective action to reduce alcohol-related harm and protect South Australians from domestic, family and sexual violence.”
Robert Simms GRN
“I rise to speak on behalf of the Greens on the Liquor Licensing (Royal Commission Recommendations) Amendment Bill 2026, and to indicate that the Greens will, of course, be supporting this legislation. As other speakers have identified, this bill progresses two prevention reforms from recommendations 128 and 129 of the Royal Commission into Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence.”
Cory Bernardi PHON
“In rising to speak to the Liquor Licensing (Royal Commission Recommendations) Amendment Bill 2026 I find myself responding to the Hon. Mr Simms’s curiosity. I find it curious that a political party that purports to reflect the green agenda is happy to raze lots of forests and things in order to put solar panels and wind turbines up. It is a misnomer, and I would suggest the Hon.”
Mira El Dannawi ALP
“I rise to speak in support of the Liquor Licensing (Royal Commission Recommendations) Amendment Bill. This amendment is a reasonable and important action introducing stronger measures to reduce alcohol-related harm. Family, domestic and sexual violence remains a significant social issue that causes profound harm to individuals, families and communities across Australia.”
Hilton Gumbys ALP
“I, too, rise to speak in strong support of the Liquor Licensing (Royal Commission Recommendations) Amendment Bill 2026. The Royal Commission into Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence was a landmark inquiry for South Australia.”
Kyam Maher ALP
“I want to thank the speakers who have spoken today on this bill: the Hon. Nicola Centofanti, the Hon. Carlos Quaremba, the Hon. Sarah Game, the Hon. Robert Simms, the Hon. Cory Bernardi, the Hon. Mira El Dannawi and the Hon. Hilton Gumbys. I completely and utterly disagree with and reject some of the statements and characterisations that have been made by some of those opposing this bill today.”
