Here's the report from AAP Stephen Johnson

Parents should be fined for giving their own children under 18 a glass of wine with dinner, a federal Liberal MP says. 

It is illegal under state laws for people to give alcohol to minors without parental consent. 

But Liberal backbencher Luke Simpkins wants to go further, and have parents fined for giving any kind of liquor to their own children before they reach adulthood.

 "Given it is illegal for pubs and clubs to supply alcohol ... to persons under 18 ... that should be extended to all parents," Mr Simpkins told AAP on Wednesday, adding MPs from both sides of politics supported his call. 

"Given brain development and maturity levels, it would be an excellent idea that it should just not be allowed lock, stock and barrel." Asked if this would include a glass of wine with dinner, the father of two said: "That would be the right way to go." 

Mr Simpkins said children introduced to alcohol at a younger age developed alcoholism later in life.
