Northern Territory senators have shared their own emotional stories of the impact of alcohol abuse on their families, as debate continues on imposing alcohol bans in Indigenous communities.
Liberal senator Jacinta Price, who introduced a private bill calling for a blanket ban on alcohol in communities, spoke of her cousin, who died recently in an Alice Springs palliative care unit.
"My cousin lived her entire life in a town camp. And it is my firm belief that this life lived in a hellhole contributed to her bad health," she told parliament on Wednesday.
