Green Party and Auckland Central MP Chloe Swarbrick has submitted a private members bill to amend the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act. Trevor Wilson, chairman of the Auckland alcohol pressure group Communities Against Alcohol Harm (CAAH), says the sheer number of liquor outlets in south Auckland is out of control and the social effects of alcohol abuse is a major issue.
