Abstract

The NT Government is required under the Liquor Act 2019 (NT) to undertake a review of the MUP (Minimum Unit Price) every 3 years. The review is required to assess the impact of the MUP against its main objectives: reducing the harmful consumption of alcohol while minimising the effect of the MUP on moderate consumers of alcohol. This report evaluates the impacts of the MUP on alcohol consumption trends, alcohol related harm and other impacts in the NT as a whole, as well as in individual regions. We recognise that it is difficult to directly attribute changes in alcohol related harms or other impacts to any individual alcohol related policy intervention such as the MUP, Banned Drinkers Register (BDR) and PALIs (Police Auxiliary Licensing Inspectors), since these were all introduced around the same time. The impact of COVID-19 is another important consideration for this evaluation. (Taken from executive summary)
