Abstract

We welcome the recent article by Secombe and colleagues highlighting the impact of alcohol policy reforms in the Northern Territory, namely the influence of the minimum floor price on critical care admissions.1 We agree that the social costs and harms of alcohol in the NT are too high, and are reassured by the improved health outcomes associated with the implementation of emerging alcohol policies. There have been, however, other notable alcohol and social policy investments in the NT, including the introduction of Police Auxiliary Liquor Inspectors (PALIs).
