09 Sep 2022 --- South Australia’s police union is launching legal action to prohibit the sale of canned beers at the Adelaide Oval sports ground, citing concerns that the metal packaging poses a safety threat to players, staff and police officers as a potential projectile. Previously, beer could only be sold in plastic cups, but metal cans were then permitted by the state’s Liquor and Gambling Commissioner in July. The Stadium Management Authority (SMA) has argued that metal cans provide a more environmentally responsible alternative to plastic cups and allow for a wider range of beverages to be sold.
