In Australia, major brewers participate in The Alcohol Beverage Advertising Code (ABAC) Scheme which is the regulatory system for alcohol advertising. 

 

The ABAC Scheme has three major design elements: guidelines for advertising have been negotiated with government, consumer complaints are handled independently, but all costs are borne by industry.

 

The latest Annual Report on the ABAC Scheme is available here.  More information about the ABAC Scheme can be found at www.abac.org.au.

 

In New Zealand, advertising is regulated by the Advertising Standards Authority.   The latest Annual Report from the ASA is available at www.asa.co.nz.
