The Northern Territory government is likely to pass its new alcohol laws after winning the support of Independent Member for Nelson, Gerry Wood. The legislation enables the creation of a banned drinkers register and introduces mandatory rehabilitation for chronic drinkers. The Opposition is against the legislation but the two independents will support it, giving the minority Government the numbers to pass the bills.
