I want to indicate on behalf of the Labor Party that we too acknowledge the thinking and the work that have gone into this series of amendments but indicate to the Greens that, at this stage, we are not able to support this amendment, because we believe it is too specific to the Northern Territory. It does not take into account the work that is being undertaking by the joint working group in relation to wholesale alcohol, and we believe that there needs to be a more comprehensive approach beyond just the Northern Territory interventions.
