Шаблон:No Шаблон:No

A referendum concerning introducing prohibition in New South Wales was put to voters on 1 September 1928.

Background

Шаблон:Excerpt

Although 6 o'clock closing was introduced as a temporary measure, the government brought in extensions and discussed putting the matter to a referendum. In 1923, however, without testing the matter by a popular vote, the Fuller Nationalist government enacted 6 pm as the closing time.[1]

The question

The question to be voted on was whether "prohibition, with compensation, shall come into force throughout New South Wales".[2]

Results

The referendum overwhelmingly rejected the introduction of prohibition.
