This was a recommendation of Dorrelle Anderson's report that was used by the Federal government to back in its alcohol bans.

  1. The NT Government make urgent amendments to the Liquor Act 2019 that will see town camps and nearby remote communities return to alcohol free areas, with a clear path forward if the community wishes to introduce responsible drinking options, upon the development of a Community Alcohol Management Plan.

  2. The NT and Commonwealth Governments continue to work together to deliver needs based funding to the relevant service providers in the Northern Territory as a matter of priority, so that the cycle of intergenerational trauma and disadvantage can truly begin to be broken.

Unfortunately they acted on the part they had already made their mind up on and ignored the rest.
