Posted on November 12, 2020 in Asia-Pacific, AustraliaWoolworths is planning to go ahead with one of the largest alcohol-megastores in the country in Darwin right next to alcohol-free aboriginal communities.
Public health experts, the aboriginal communities and the Northern Territory government’s own Independent Liquor Commission have called for the store not to be built. However, Big Alcohol’s aggressive lobbying is influencing public health policy putting private profits over public health and well-being.
