Alcohol in the Territory Post July 2022: Preparing for a New Era
Abstract
At midnight on 16 July 2022 around 350 alcohol-protected areas in the NT will transition overnight from complete alcohol bans to unrestricted availability of alcohol.
With its failure to establish a transition process out of the Stronger Futures in the Northern Territory (SFNT) legislation that lapses in July, the Commonwealth government dodges responsibility for remote communities.
The NT government has done little to fill the void. At the eleventh hour, it has passed legislation that allows communities to ‘opt-in’ to continue the ban. But it is not clear how and whether this will work, and action, especially consultation, is called for by the Aboriginal Medical Services Alliance NT (AMSANT), Northern Australian Aboriginal Justice Agency (NAAJA), and Central Australian Aboriginal Congress (CAAC) among others...

Models for interpreting ecosystem change
Read more about Models for interpreting ecosystem changeDr Anna Richards will describe a set of regional ecosystem accounts, developed in collaboration with the Australian government, for the gulf region in Queensland. To interpret change in the accounts, including ecosystem extent, condition, biodiversity and services over time, we collaborated with regional experts to develop a set of conceptual models – state and transition models – to show graphically how ecosystems work.
