Our community deserves better standards for advertising alcohol. But the voluntary industry-led standards are weak & littered with loopholes.

Our community are being bombarded by alcohol ads when they are online. And, its not just ads anymore. Ads are now a direct portal to the online sale and delivery of alcohol into the home. This is especially concerning when it comes to harmful and addictive products like alcohol.
We’ve launched a new #report – ‘Alcohol advertising on social media: a 1-year snapshot’
In collaboration with #researchers, the report reveals how alcohol companies ply our community with thousands of ads on our social media platforms.

Kellogg claimed that including their cereals among “less healthy” foods was unfair because it did not take into account the milk that was usually added them. Are they for real?
Positive step for health, UK Government can act to stop high sugar cereals being promoted through price discounts and two for one offers.

Are elevated levels of domestic abuse an acceptable trade-off for allowing alcohol companies to use the cover of the pandemic to cynically undermine Australia’s most effective tool for alcohol harm prevention? My letter to the editor of @theage today. #endfamilyviolence
Any reductions to the price of alcoholic products would be absolutely devastating at a time when we are seeing increases in the many harms from alcohol that negatively impact on far too many Australians #auspol

Our latest research shows that more than 50% of the products we buy at the supermarket contain added sugar.
It's sneaking into 'everyday' foods like breakfast cereals, yoghurt and sauces.
This makes cutting back on sugar harder than you might think.
