The schedule centrally uses three structural concepts: definitions (what the words mean), prescribed behaviour (what conduct is excluded or forbidden in the context of entertainment), and statutory hierarchy (how the Code interacts with other legislation).

Definitions: The schedule gives short, operational definitions. “Adult entertainer” is the performer of an act of an explicit sexual nature as live entertainment on premises under an adult entertainment permit (sch.1-sec-ssec.1). “Adult entertainment permit” means an adult entertainment permit granted under the Liquor Act 1992 and in force (sch.1-sec-ssec.3). “Code” means this Adult Entertainment Code referred to in s 103N of the Liquor Act 1992; the Code prescribes live entertainment that may be performed for an audience by an adult entertainer on licensed premises or premises covered by the listed permits (sch.1-sec-ssec.4).

Working definitions are provided for bodily and sexual terms. “Genitalia” is treated as having its ordinary meaning but for this Code includes penis, scrotum, testicles and vagina (sch.1-sec-ssec.5). “Masturbation” is said to be presumed to have its ordinary meaning, and the text provides a dictionary-style gloss (sch.1-sec-ssec.6). “Object” is explicitly stated to include an animal (sch.1-sec-ssec.7). “Oral sex” is defined as contact between any part of the genitalia or anus of one person and any part of the mouth of another (sch.1-sec-ssec.8). The terms “penis” and “vagina” are given inclusive definitions that expressly cover surgically constructed organs (sch.1-sec-ssec.9, sch.1-sec-ssec.11). “Sexual intercourse” is defined to include penetration to any extent of the vagina, vulva or anus by a part of the body or by an object (sch.1-sec-ssec.10).

Prescribed behaviour: The Code sets out the “prescribed behaviour” for the purposes of s 103N of the Liquor Act 1992 as “an act of an explicit sexual nature” and then lists a number of things an adult entertainer must not do as part of that act: participating in sexual intercourse, masturbation or oral sex; touching the genitalia or anus of another person; allowing another person to touch the adult entertainer’s genitalia or anus; allowing penetration; placing face in close proximity to another’s genitalia or anus; allowing audience members to do the same; and soliciting commercial sexual services (sch.1-sec-oc.3, sch.1-sec-oc.3-ssec.14). The Code cross-references the definition of “commercial sexual services” in s 4 of the Liquor Act 1992 (sch.1-sec-oc.3-ssec.14 note).

Statutory hierarchy: The schedule requires reading together with the Criminal Code, Liquor Act 1992 and Liquor Regulation 2002, and declares that to the extent of any inconsistency, those enactments prevail over the Code (sch.1-sec-oc.2, sch.1-sec-oc.2-ssec.12-13). The schedule therefore operates within a regulatory architecture where the Liquor Act and the Criminal Code supply permits, offences and enforcement mechanisms, while the Code supplies behavioural detail relevant to permit compliance and to determining whether conduct is permissible as “adult entertainment” under the Liquor Act framework.

The immediate group affected are persons who perform live acts of an explicit sexual nature for an audience on premises that are governed by an adult entertainment permit under the Liquor Act 1992, referred to in the schedule as “adult entertainers” (sch.1-sec-ssec.1). That definition ties the Code to permit regimes under the Liquor Act; accordingly, licence-holders and permit-holders who run premises offering live adult entertainment are directly affected because their operations must comply with the behaviours the Code prescribes (sch.1-sec-ssec.3-4; sch.1-sec-oc.3-ssec.14).

Licensed premises and premises to which a general purpose permit or restricted club permit relates are explicitly in scope (sch.1-sec-ssec.1, sch.1-sec-ssec.4). This means venues that operate under the Liquor Act’s licensing and permit architecture will need to ensure that their live entertainment offerings conform to the Code if they hold an adult entertainment permit. The Code’s core behavioural prescriptions therefore change the operational boundaries within which performers and licence-holders can lawfully present explicit live entertainment.

The enforcement and compliance side falls to agencies and officers that administer or enforce the Liquor Act, the Liquor Regulation, or the Criminal Code. The schedule states that it is to be read and construed with those enactments and that those enactments prevail in the event of inconsistency (sch.1-sec-oc.2, sch.1-sec-oc.2-ssec.12-13). The Code also explicitly notes that any entertainment of an explicit sexual nature performed at licensed premises without an adult entertainment permit may be subject to prosecution if the entertainment constitutes a criminal offence (sch.1-sec-ssec.4). That language imports policing and prosecutorial bodies where the activities may amount to criminal conduct.

Audience members are indirectly affected in two ways. First, the Code lists as prohibited behaviours those that involve audience contact with a performer’s genitalia or anus or allowing an audience member to put his or her face in close proximity to a performer’s genitalia or anus (sch.1-sec-oc.3-ssec.14). Second, where a venue lacks a valid adult entertainment permit and an activity constitutes a criminal offence, audience participation may attract criminal-law consequences if the conduct falls within the Criminal Code or other relevant enactments (sch.1-sec-ssec.4; sch.1-sec-oc.2-ssec.12-13).

Finally, the Code affects regulators and legal advisers because it supplies the behavioural detail that will be used to determine whether a particular live performance falls within the scope of an adult entertainment permit, or whether it steps into conduct that is criminal or otherwise inconsistent with the Liquor Act and its regulations (sch.1-sec-oc.2-ssec.12-13; sch.1-sec-oc.3-ssec.14).

The schedule does not create an extensive set of procedural duties; rather it creates behavioural limits that performers and the operators of licensed or permitted premises must observe to keep their activity within the regulatory definition of permitted adult entertainment. Those behavioural limits read as de facto duties on performers and premises.

Obligations derived from definitions and the prescribed behaviour include the following. An adult entertainer must not perform the listed acts as part of adult entertainment at premises under an adult entertainment permit: participate in sexual intercourse, masturbation or oral sex; touch another person’s genitalia or anus; allow another person to touch the adult entertainer’s genitalia or anus; allow penetration of the vagina, vulva or anus by body part or object; place his or her face in close proximity to another person’s genitalia or anus; allow an audience member to put his or her face in close proximity to the adult entertainer’s genitalia or anus; and solicit any person for the purposes of commercial sexual services (sch.1-sec-oc.3-ssec.14). The Code cross-references the Liquor Act’s definition of “commercial sexual services” (sch.1-sec-oc.3-ssec.14 note).

Because the Code must be read with the Liquor Act and the Criminal Code, the rights and duties created by those Acts remain in force and take precedence where there is any inconsistency (sch.1-sec-oc.2, sch.1-sec-oc.2-ssec.12-13). For example, the adult entertainment permit itself is created under the Liquor Act (sch.1-sec-ssec.3), and any permit conditions, fee obligations, application procedures, or licence-holder responsibilities that sit in the Liquor Act or the Liquor Regulation will continue to apply alongside the behavioural rules in the Code.

The Code also supplies definitional rights by specifying what terms include. It gives clarifying content that will affect whether a performer’s act is captured. For instance, the Code declares that “penis” and “vagina” include surgically constructed organs (sch.1-sec-ssec.9, sch.1-sec-ssec.11), and that “object” includes an animal (sch.1-sec-ssec.7). These definitions narrow the space of argument about whether a particular body part or instrument is captured by the Code. The Code further states that “genitalia” should be read in its ordinary meaning and clarifies what that ordinary meaning includes for the Code’s purposes (sch.1-sec-ssec.5).

The schedule does not explicitly provide a right to perform particular adult entertainment; instead it structures what counts as permitted activity under an adult entertainment permit and draws lines between what is and is not treated as adult entertainment. It expressly says that sexual intercourse, masturbation and oral sex are not included within “adult entertainment” as that term is used in the Code (sch.1-sec-ssec.2). That exclusion therefore functions as a limiting definition rather than as a grant of entitlement to perform those activities on licensed premises; where such acts are performed they may engage criminal-law prohibitions or other regulatory constraints, which the schedule notes by cross-reference (sch.1-sec-ssec.4).

In short, the Code imposes behavioural boundaries that operate as duties on performers and venues when offering live adult entertainment under an adult entertainment permit; operative rights and specific enforcement mechanisms are to be found in the Liquor Act, the Liquor Regulation and the Criminal Code, which prevail over the Code where necessary (sch.1-sec-oc.2-ssec.12-13).

The schedule itself does not set out penalty amounts, offence labels or an administrative enforcement procedure. Instead, it places the Code within the enforcement architecture of the Liquor Act 1992, the Liquor Regulation 2002 and the Criminal Code. The schedule instructs that it is to be read and construed with those enactments and that those enactments prevail in the event of inconsistency (sch.1-sec-oc.2, sch.1-sec-oc.2-ssec.12-13). This means that enforcing bodies, penalty scales and prosecution routes lie in those other instruments.

The only explicit enforcement-oriented statement in the text is that “Any entertainment of an explicit sexual nature that is performed at licensed premises without an adult entertainment permit may be subject to prosecution, if the entertainment is of such a nature as to constitute a criminal offence” (sch.1-sec-ssec.4). That sentence establishes two enforcement channels. First, regulatory compliance with the permit regime under the Liquor Act is necessary: performing explicit sexual entertainment without a valid adult entertainment permit leaves operators exposed to regulatory action tied to licensing and permit rules under the Liquor Act and the Liquor Regulation (sch.1-sec-ssec.3-4; sch.1-sec-oc.2-ssec.12-13). Second, where the conduct crosses into criminality, the Criminal Code can be engaged, and criminal prosecution is a possible outcome (sch.1-sec-ssec.4; sch.1-sec-oc.2-ssec.12-13).

Because the schedule supplies detailed behavioural descriptions that will be used to determine compliance, the absence of penalty clauses in the schedule itself means that enforcement practice will rely on how the Liquor Act and the Criminal Code define offences and the investigatory and prosecutorial discretion those enactments and enforcement agencies confer. The Code’s statement that the other enactments prevail indicates that any sanctioning, inspectorate powers, licensing penalties or criminal sanctions will be governed by the parent statutes and regulations rather than by the schedule.

This architecture creates implementation risks and enforcement discretion points. For example, whether a particular performance is prosecuted for criminal offences depends on the prosecutorial assessment of whether the conduct “constitutes a criminal offence” under the Criminal Code or another relevant enactment (sch.1-sec-ssec.4). Similarly, whether a licensing or permit sanction is applied will depend on the Liquor Act’s permit conditions and enforcement mechanisms, which are not included in the schedule text but are expressly referenced as prevailing laws (sch.1-sec-oc.2-ssec.12-13; sch.1-sec-ssec.3). The schedule therefore structures the substantive standard and leaves detection, investigation and sanction to existing enforcement frameworks.

The schedule is explicitly adjunctive; it must be read and construed together with the Criminal Code, the Liquor Act 1992 and the Liquor Regulation 2002 (sch.1-sec-oc.2, sch.1-sec-oc.2-ssec.12). The schedule then provides a clause that where there is any inconsistency between the Code and those Acts, those enactments prevail over the Code (sch.1-sec-oc.2-ssec.13). That clause places the schedule as subsidiary legal detail, subordinate to the Liquor Act and the Criminal Code.

The schedule cross-references s 103N of the Liquor Act 1992; it states that the Code prescribes the live entertainment that may be performed for an audience by a person performing an act of an explicit sexual nature on premises with an adult entertainment permit (sch.1-sec-ssec.4). It also references the definition of “commercial sexual services” as prescribed under s 4 of the Liquor Act 1992 in the note to the prescribed behaviour list (sch.1-sec-oc.3-ssec.14 note). Those explicit cross-references indicate that the Code is intended to be the behavioural detail feeding into the Liquor Act’s permit regime and into any administrative determinations under the Liquor Act.

The schedule’s definitions note where it relies on ordinary meanings because the Liquor Act 1992 and the Criminal Code do not define certain terms. For instance, it explicitly states that “genitalia” and “masturbation” are not defined in the Liquor Act or the Criminal Code and therefore are presumed to have their ordinary meaning, with the schedule offering a working clarifying list or dictionary gloss for those terms (sch.1-sec-ssec.5-6). This is functionally significant because it means that in disputes over interpretation the Code’s textual glosses will be a central reference point, but they do not displace the reach of the Criminal Code where criminal liability is concerned; the schedule itself reiterates that the Criminal Code prevails in any inconsistency (sch.1-sec-oc.2-ssec.12-13).

A further interaction touchpoint is the schedule’s treatment of “object” as including an animal (sch.1-sec-ssec.7). Where the question of penetration by an object arises, the inclusion of animals within “object” means the Code’s behavioural prohibition on allowing penetration by an object could be read to capture bestiality or similar acts. That reading would bring the Code into immediate interplay with criminal prohibitions under the Criminal Code and with any specific animal welfare or criminal statutes, and the schedule’s instruction as to statutory hierarchy again makes clear that the Criminal Code and other relevant enactments would govern enforcement (sch.1-sec-oc.2-ssec.12-13; sch.1-sec-ssec.7).

The schedule’s inclusive definitions for surgically constructed genitalia (sch.1-sec-ssec.9, sch.1-sec-ssec.11) interact with questions of identity and bodily morphology. By expressly including surgically constructed organs within “penis” and “vagina”, the Code resolves one source of interpretive uncertainty internally, and ensures that the behavioural prohibitions on touching or allowing touching, or on penetration, apply regardless of whether the organs are anatomically typical or surgically altered.

In short, the schedule supplies detailed behavioural content and simplified definitions, but the operative legal powers, permit conditions, offences and enforcement mechanisms remain those of the Liquor Act, the Liquor Regulation and the Criminal Code, which are expressly declared to prevail in case of inconsistency (sch.1-sec-oc.2-ssec.12-13; sch.1-sec-ssec.4).

The text provided contains no historical notes, amendment annotations, legislative dates, commencement provisions or marginal notes that record prior versions or changes to the schedule. The schedule presents the Code’s substantive definitions and behavioural prescriptions as a standalone block without embedded amendment logs or version history.

Because the schedule is framed as a code that supplements s 103N of the Liquor Act 1992, any formal amendment history that affects the practical operation of the Code is likely to be traceable in the legislative history and amendment records of the Liquor Act 1992, the Liquor Regulation 2002, and the parliamentary instrument that inserted or last amended this schedule. However, within this schedule itself there are no recorded amendments or footnotes that indicate prior text or prior substitution. The absence of amendment entries in the text provided means that the schedule must be treated as a current snapshot without an internal chronology.

Users requiring a legislative history will need to consult the versions of the Liquor Act 1992 and the relevant statutory compilation or government registers to see when sch.1 was inserted or altered, how its wording has changed over time, and whether the substance of the Code has been modified. The Code’s cross-references to s 103N of the Liquor Act 1992 indicate the statutory location in the parent Act that implements the Code, and that Act’s legislative history will therefore contain amendment and commencement information relevant to the Code. Those searches and records are external to the schedule text and are not present in the material supplied.

In sum, the schedule contains no internal amendment history. The schedule’s current wording is the authoritative text provided here, but any temporal changes or prior versions are not recorded within this text.

The schedule itself does not record or reference any litigation, reported cases, tribunal decisions, or administrative rulings. There are no named cases, citations to precedent, or notes of judicial interpretation contained in the text. The schedule is a rules-based definition and behavioural prescription without embedded references to how courts or tribunals have applied it.

Because the schedule functions by reference to the Liquor Act 1992 and the Criminal Code, litigation that interprets the Code in practice will most likely be found in cases that apply the Liquor Act, the Liquor Regulation, or criminal provisions to specific factual circumstances involving live adult entertainment. None of those decisions are cited or summarised in the schedule provided.

Practitioners seeking precedent on questions such as whether a particular act falls within the Code’s prohibition list, the legal effect of the Code’s definitional inclusions (for example the inclusion of surgically constructed genitalia), or the interaction between the Code and criminal law, will need to locate case law under the Liquor Act and Criminal Code where the Code has been invoked. The schedule itself offers no litigation guide, no recorded disputes and no judicial gloss.

Therefore, based on the text supplied, there is no litigation history incorporated in the schedule. Any judicial or administrative interpretations, prosecutorial approaches, or licence appeal decisions must be identified through external case law and administrative records under the Liquor Act and the Criminal Code.

The schedule is short and direct, but it contains several drafting choices and definitional details that create points of legal and operational risk or ambiguity that practitioners should note.

1. Apparent definitional tension regarding sexual intercourse, masturbation and oral sex. The schedule states twice that “adult entertainment does not include the performance of sexual intercourse, masturbation, or oral sex” (sch.1-sec-ssec.2) and then, in the prescribed behaviour section, lists “participating in sexual intercourse, masturbation or oral sex” among the acts that are not included in the Code’s description of an adult entertainer’s permitted performative acts (sch.1-sec-oc.3-ssec.14). The textual formulation in sch.1-sec-oc.3 reads awkwardly; it identifies the “prescribed behaviour” as “an act of an explicit sexual nature but does not include an adult entertainer: participating in sexual intercourse, masturbation or oral sex; …” That phrasing risks interpretive confusion about whether those acts are excluded from the definition of “adult entertainment” (as per sch.1-sec-ssec.2) or are listed as prohibited parts of the prescribed behaviour. Practitioners should treat this as a drafting ambiguity that may generate contested interpretations about the outer boundaries of permitted activity.

2. The phrase “placing his or her face in the close proximity of the genitalia or anus” and the variant “allowing an audience member to put his or her face in the close proximity of the genitalia or anus of the adult entertainer” (sch.1-sec-oc.3-ssec.14) are operationally vague. The schedule does not define “close proximity” and provides no metric or standard that clarifies distance or intent. That vagueness could produce evidential disputes about whether particular conduct constituted a breach of the Code or instead fell outside it.

3. “Object includes an animal” (sch.1-sec-ssec.7). This express inclusion has significant implication. Where the Code forbids allowing penetration by an object (sch.1-sec-oc.3-ssec.14), the inclusion of animals within “object” brings such acts squarely within the Code’s behavioural scope. That interaction will immediately engage criminal prohibitions and animal welfare offences under other statutes; the schedule’s hierarchy clause confirms that the Criminal Code and other enactments will prevail in any inconsistency (sch.1-sec-oc.2-ssec.12-13). The drafting leaves no room for an argument that “object” excludes animals in this context.

4. Inclusion of surgically constructed genitalia. The Code states that “penis includes a surgically constructed penis” and that “vagina includes the external genitalia, and a surgically constructed vagina” (sch.1-sec-ssec.9, sch.1-sec-ssec.11). That treatment removes an avenue of factual argument that might otherwise arise concerning whether a surgically constructed organ is captured by the terms of the Code. It also means that interactions that involve surgically constructed genitalia will be treated the same as those that involve typical anatomical organs when assessing compliance.

5. Reliance on ordinary meaning where other Acts are silent. The schedule expressly notes that “genitalia” and “masturbation” are not defined in the Liquor Act 1992 or the Criminal Code and are therefore presumed to have their ordinary meaning, with the schedule providing specific glosses (sch.1-sec-ssec.5-6). That approach places interpretive weight on ordinary-language definitions and can raise contested semantic issues in enforcement or prosecution contexts.

6. Enforcement uncertainty because penalties are in other statutes. The Code states that entertainment performed without an adult entertainment permit may be subject to prosecution if it constitutes a criminal offence and that the Code is to be read with the Liquor Act and Criminal Code, those Acts prevailing in case of inconsistency (sch.1-sec-ssec.4; sch.1-sec-oc.2-ssec.12-13). The Code itself has no specified penalty clauses. That means operational compliance requires consultation of the Liquor Act and Criminal Code to identify specific sanctions, a potential compliance-cost for venue operators and performers.

7. Cross-reference to “commercial sexual services” in the Liquor Act. The Code disqualifies “soliciting any person for the purposes of commercial sexual services” but does not define that concept locally; it refers to the Liquor Act’s definition (sch.1-sec-oc.3-ssec.14 note). Practitioners will therefore need to consult the Liquor Act to understand what conduct qualifies as solicitation for commercial sexual services and how that interacts with permitted entertainment.

Overall, the schedule sets clear lines in some places and leaves blurry margins in others. The drafting choices emphasise bodily inclusions and exclusions that will have immediate operational impact, while enforcement and penalty practicalities are left to the Liquor Act and the Criminal Code.

Compliance with the schedule requires a two-tiered approach because the schedule supplies behavioural detail while vesting enforcement and permit architecture in the Liquor Act and the Criminal Code. The following steps are grounded in the schedule’s text and indicate practical actions venues and performers should adopt to reduce regulatory and criminal-law risk.

1. Confirm permit status before programming explicit live entertainment. The schedule ties adult entertainers and adult entertainment to an “adult entertainment permit” granted under the Liquor Act 1992 and in force (sch.1-sec-ssec.3). Do not stage acts of an explicit sexual nature as live entertainment on licensed premises that lack a valid adult entertainment permit. The schedule explicitly warns that entertainment of an explicit sexual nature performed at licensed premises without an adult entertainment permit may be subject to prosecution if it constitutes a criminal offence (sch.1-sec-ssec.4). Therefore operators should ensure a valid permit is in place and up to date before hosting any such performances.

2. Adopt strict performer conduct rules that mirror the prescribed behaviour list. The Code lists specific acts that adult entertainers must not perform as part of adult entertainment (sch.1-sec-oc.3-ssec.14). Practical compliance requires written performer rules that forbid: sexual intercourse, masturbation and oral sex being performed under the banner of adult entertainment to the extent those acts are excluded; touching another person’s genitalia or anus; allowing another person to touch the entertainer’s genitalia or anus; permitting penetration by any part of the body or an object; allowing faces to be placed in close proximity to genitalia or anus either by performers or audience members; and soliciting persons for commercial sexual services. Even where the schedule’s own phrasing is ambiguous, mirroring its concrete list is the conservative compliance posture.

3. Train staff and performers on what the Code’s definitions mean. The schedule provides working definitions that widen rather than narrow the Code’s scope: “object” includes animals (sch.1-sec-ssec.7); “penis” and “vagina” include surgically constructed organs (sch.1-sec-ssec.9, sch.1-sec-ssec.11); “oral sex” is defined as contact between genitalia or anus and the mouth (sch.1-sec-ssec.8). Staff and performers should be trained on these definitions so that they understand behaviours that would potentially engage the Code and therefore create regulatory or criminal risk.

4. Put in place audience-contact controls. Because the Code expressly forbids allowing an audience member to place their face in close proximity to a performer’s genitalia or anus and forbids permitting audience contact with an entertainer’s genitalia or anus (sch.1-sec-oc.3-ssec.14), venues should implement clear physical barriers, stage distances and security protocols that prevent unlawful audience contact. Practical measures include stage height, roped-off zones, clear announcements of zero-contact policies, and trained security to enforce those boundaries.

5. Avoid ambiguous framing and document decisions. Given the drafting tension about whether sexual intercourse, masturbation and oral sex are inside or outside the Code’s coverage (sch.1-sec-ssec.2; sch.1-sec-oc.3-ssec.14), venues should avoid programming acts that could plausibly be characterised as falling within those categories without explicit legal advice. Where borderline decisions are taken, keep contemporaneous internal documentation explaining the decision-making process, the rationale, and any legal advice relied upon.

6. Check Liquor Act and criminal-law obligations. The Code must be read with the Liquor Act and the Criminal Code, which prevail in the event of inconsistency (sch.1-sec-oc.2, sch.1-sec-oc.2-ssec.12-13). The Code cross-references the Liquor Act definition of “commercial sexual services” (sch.1-sec-oc.3-ssec.14 note). Consequently, compliance requires consulting the Liquor Act and the Criminal Code to identify permit application requirements, permit conditions, reporting obligations, and the criminal law thresholds for prosecution. The schedule itself does not specify permit application steps or penalties, so those points must be confirmed in the parent acts.

7. Implement a pre-event compliance checklist. A checklist should confirm: (a) a valid adult entertainment permit is in force (sch.1-sec-ssec.3); (b) performers have signed and understood the venue’s conduct rules that mirror the Code’s prohibited conduct (sch.1-sec-oc.3-ssec.14); (c) audience-contact controls are in place; (d) security and management are briefed on the Code’s definitions and the venue’s policy; and (e) a designated manager is authorised to stop a performance should a breach occur. This operationalises the schedule’s behavioural limits in real time.

8. Seek legal advice for novel acts or ambiguous presentations. The schedule leaves some points imprecise, such as “close proximity” and the textual tension noted above (sch.1-sec-oc.3-ssec.14; sch.1-sec-ssec.2). For novel performances that deliberately test expressive boundaries, obtain targeted legal advice addressing how the proposed acts interact with the Code, the Liquor Act and the Criminal Code. Document that advice and consider modifying the performance to remove risk.

9. Maintain records of permits and staff training. Because the Code is enforced through other enactments and because prosecution is a risk where the conduct may amount to a criminal offence (sch.1-sec-ssec.4), keep contemporaneous records of permits, performer agreements, training, and security interventions. These records will be relevant where regulators or prosecutors investigate alleged breaches.

10. Review animal- and object-related exclusions. Because “object includes an animal” (sch.1-sec-ssec.7) and the Code prohibits allowing penetration by an object (sch.1-sec-oc.3-ssec.14), venues should ensure their compliance rules categorically exclude any acts involving animals. That point is non-negotiable under the schedule and will intersect with criminal law.

Following the schedule’s text in these practical steps aligns operations with the Code’s expressed behavioural boundaries, while recognising that enforcement and precise sanctioning fall under the Liquor Act, the Liquor Regulation and the Criminal Code (sch.1-sec-oc.2-ssec.12-13; sch.1-sec-ssec.4).
