About this webinar:

This webinar will present early findings on the impacts of repealing the Northern Territory’s Minimum Unit Price (MUP) policy on alcohol pricing. Drawing on data collected from major alcohol retailers before and after the repeal in March 2025, the webinar will examine changes in the availability of cheap alcohol products and shifts in alcohol price distributions across the alcohol market. As the first known repeal of an implemented MUP policy worldwide, the NT provides a unique opportunity to understand how alcohol markets respond following the removal of a population-level pricing intervention. The webinar will also discuss implications for alcohol policy and harm minimisation in the NT and internationally.
