Venues are governed by their liquor licences and  each state would have 
something like the Liquor Licensing Act 1990 (Tas) with something like section 
43 which says that liquor licenses can be conditional on this like pours, 
glass size, etc.

From this I'd assume pours are regulated through liquor licensing rather than 
sweeping legislation.
