Wine cask haul fuels call for grog law changes

An alcohol control advocacy group in the Northern Territory says the number of empty wine casks found in the dry Todd River at Alice Springs is proof of the need for a floor price on alcohol. The People’s Alcohol Action Coalition says more than 230 casks were collected from a 500-metre stretch of the dry river bed in one day. The group is urging the Federal Government to include a floor price in it’s ‘Stronger Future’ legislation that will replace laws governing the emergency intervention in the Territory, reports ABC News.
