The banned drinkers register (BDR) in regional Western Australia will be overhauled by the state government, after new figures revealed fewer than 200 people are on the list.
Racing and Gaming Minister Tony Buti, speaking in Karratha today, announced the government would introduce legislation to reform the BDR, which bans problem drinkers from buying takeaway alcohol in the Pilbara, Kimberley and Goldfields regions.
