In your proposed amendment to the Alcohol bill you are suggesting setting minimum prices. You  have said:

“The minimum pricing amendment is very simple.  It will give the Minister power to set a minimum price per unit of alcohol.  This power, if properly exercised, will put an end to $6 bottles of wine being sold in supermarkets.

But there is no clear indication of how much the price might go up.

• What do you envisage the prive of a $6 bottle of wine will change to?
• What do you envisage the prive of a $6 bottle of wine will change to?
• How much will a bottle of beer go up?
• Is it open to the minister of the day to decide how much we should pay for alcohol?

I think these are simple questions that we deserve to know before you promote potentially significant changes.

This will affect many people who are able to enjoy and handle their alcohol.
