IN THE NORTHERN TERRITORY, ALCOHOL…

  • Is a primary cause of domestic violence – up to 100 cases every day in the NT.
  • Leads to an escalating number of DV deaths, primarily of Aboriginal women.
  • This is the motivation behind numerous break-ins to hospitality venues and private homes.
  • Is evermore plentiful to drinkers because they are fed and accommodated by charities, leaving more money available for purchasing alcohol.
  • Forces children out of their homes and onto the streets because it is not safe for them at home.
  • Costs the government tens of millions of dollars each year for policing, corrections costs, bottle shop patrolling, repairs to damage and vandalised infrastructure… the list goes on. 
  • Alcohol is the number one curse of the Northern Territory. It is a total and utter curse.
