‘Further tightening’ of NT alcohol restrictions expectedWe can expect by the end of the week a “further tightening” of alcohol restrictions in the Northern Territory by the federal government, says Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell. “With the likely introduction of opt-out alcohol restrictions in Aboriginal communities, not the current system of opt-in,” Mr Clennell said. “When it came to the meeting between the Prime Minister and the Northern Territory government and Indigenous groups in Alice Springs last Tuesday, I understand the outcome that was announced to tighten takeaway alcohol sales and have two alcohol-free days had been worked out by officials before the meeting.” “But in the meeting, the PM was quite strong in his advocacy for the opt-in, opt-out change.”
