"The World Health Organization’s newly released report on regulating
cross-border alcohol marketing raises the alarm for countries like Australia
and New Zealand, given their light touch towards alcohol advertising.

Alcohol is widely consumed in Australasia but there is ongoing tension over how
much restraint, if any, should be placed on the marketing of these products.

Australia and New Zealand are at the unrestrained end of the marketing
continuum. Both countries rely on industry-led policy in the form of voluntary
codes – an approach identified as insufficient by the WHO report."
