Price tabled the Northern Territory safe measures bill on Wednesday, which provides for 'all Territorians to be safe consuming and being exposed to alcohol and alcohol-related harm and violence'. The bill seeks a return to alcohol-protected areas in prescribed communities in the NT. Communities could opt out of blanket bans if their alcohol management plan had been approved by the 'relevant federal minister'.
