I'd be looking for something along the lines of liquor control laws > host responsibility as it relates to serving liquor to guests and being responsible to ensure their safety.
Hi sillybilly, Yes i have to do a few things and will research into that. If Warriena's family wanted to take it further at some stage they could contact a lawyer and find out if they have any type of civil case to sue GT. But IANAL so i don't know, only research from the internet. There is also a law of "Contributory Negligence", in QLD. so maybe that covers what you mention.

What is Contributory Negligence? If an individual caused or contributed to their own harm (i.e. they were partially at fault for the accident which gave rise to their injuries), they are said to have been contributory negligent. Pursuant to the Civil Liability Act 2003 (Qld), the principles which apply in determining whether a defendant has breached a duty of care, also apply in determining whether a defendant has breached a duty of care, also apply in determining whether the person who has suffered injury/loss (i.e. the claimant/plaintiff) has been contributory negligent.
Examples of conduct that may be found to be contributory negligent include:
