BILLS › Social Security and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2011
Senator CHRIS EVANS (Western Australia—Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, Science and Research and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (01:14): I asked the very same questions. I am told it is a pure alcohol measurement. It was explained to me as being the equivalent of about three cartons of beer. I think some people misinterpreted it. It is the pure alcohol content, not how we normally describe it in a bottle or a can. That is my advice. As a layman, I said 'Well, what does that really mean?' and someone said, 'You could equate it to about three cartons of beer, the alcohol content.'
