A proposed two-hour alcohol delivery delay in Australia's ACT may force Uber Eats and DoorDash to exit, sparking debate over its effectiveness and impact on responsible users.
A proposed two-hour delay on alcohol deliveries in the Australian Capital Territory could push major delivery platforms like Uber Eats and DoorDash to leave the market, company officials say, calling the measure ineffective and harmful to responsible users.
The legislation, introduced in October 2025 by Attorney-General Tara Cheyne, aims to reduce alcohol-related harm and family violence by creating a buffer against impulsive drinking.
While the platforms support targeted harm reduction, they oppose the blanket delay, advocating instead for technology-driven solutions like real-time monitoring and self-exclusion tools already in use.
The Legislative Assembly’s legal affairs committee is reviewing the bill, with a report expected soon.
