really ? I thought supplying to a minor
was pretty black and white.

goodness.... it gets worse..cainen said:Coincidently, she was once on ABC's The Glass House program. Whilst on this program she admitted that she gave her teenage son (aged 15 or so) alcohol to drink before he went out with his friends. Her logic was that if he drank at home then he wouldn't drink while he was out. The rest of the panel paid her out bigtime and Dave Hughes sarcastically remarked that of course, there's no way a 15 year old kid that drinks at home isn't going to be drinking while he's out.
Brutus said:Remember Rebecca's lame excuse when she was caught out by Choppies?
She blamed it on an angry Bulldogs supporter when the fact was she published a completely fabricated story given to her by an anonymous emailer. The emailer turned out to be a Roosters fan anyway.:lol:
The lowest of low journalism that anyone of us could do. How easy would it be to get paid for writing crap people send you 3rd hand - much of it untrue.

herbert henry1908 said:no its illegal to sell and or supply minors with alcohol ( at least in NSW) doesnt matter if your the parent or not , its still illegal.
i run a bottleshop and the amount of parents that come in with their kids and let them pick out what they want is staggering. when they come up to the counter and you ask for ID its always the same line from the parent ' but i'm buying it, not him/her' needless to say they become pretty p*ssed when we refuse the sale.
Summary: under 18s and alcohol
So to summarise the information above, while many people think that it is illegal for under 18s to drink, the law is not that simple. Legally under 18s can:
possess and drink alcohol in private (eg. in their own home, at a friends house, at a refuge)
drink alcohol in an unlicensed restaurant with their parents

The offence of supplying liquor to a minor is often referred to as a
“second party sale” - usually where a friend of the minor (or a parent
or another adult) purchases the liquor and then supplies it to the
minor.
However there are exceptions. It is not illegal for
an adult to supply alcohol to an under 18 year
old, away from licensed premises, if:
• they are a parent or guardian of the person,
or
• they were authorised by the parent or
guardian.
There are many offences listed in the Liquor Act
1982, mainly relating to licensed premises (bottle
shops, hotels, clubs, and restaurants which are
licensed to sell alcohol). Here are some of the
more relevant offences.
It is illegal for an adult to:
• obtain alcohol from licensed premises on
behalf of an under 18, or
• to sell or supply alcohol to an under 18 year
old.
El Diablo said:but if its the parents alcohol consumed by the child in their own home its fine
But, except for NSW, no laws exist banning adults or parents from giving alcohol to young people in private dwellings. Ms Worth said she raised the issue after a man wrote to her about his child who had died as a result of drinking alcohol given to him by his friend's mother.
El Diablo said:she claimed a cityrail employee rang her and confirmed it if memory serves me correctly
