The governments Women’s Budget Statement opens by saying Domestic Violence costs the economy $26 billion.
36% of partner homicide offenders were under the influence of alcohol.

Making tweaks to specific categories for different time periods will invite elections to have 'cheaper alcohol' as a vote grabber.

alcohol violence & homicides,
