The alcohol floor price introduced in the Northern Territory has been controversial but the latest voice to add to the criticism is Darwin Lord Mayor Kon Vatskalis.

The mayor says the alcohol floor price won’t work because true alcoholics will pay any price at all to get their fix, this comes after NT Consumer Affairs warned that alcohol prices in the state could be rising well beyond floor price legislation.

Legislation as of October 1, raised the minimum price of a standard drink to $1.30. The mayor however is skeptical of the ability of the legislation to have a positive impact on public drunkenness.
