NT alcohol laws 'don't go far enough'

The Territory government introduced the 'Enough is Enough' legislation in July last year, which included a Banned Drinkers Register and a Special Substance Misuse Assessment and Referral to Treatment court.

Dr John Boffa from the People's Alcohol Action Coalition says the initial results do appear positive.

But he told Jennifer Lush more needs to be done.
