Australia's Northern Territory has removed Minimum Unit Pricing (MUP) for alcohol. Evidence strongly suggests this repeal was driven by politics, not facts.

Dr Nic Taylor (@nic-alcohol.bsky.social) and Dr Cassandra Wright unpack the arguments and evidence.

Very proud to be part of this systematic review, which has relevance for anyone working in the alcohol and/or gender space!

Implications extend beyond alcohol, prompting us to consider how we understand and (re)construct gender in the context of interdisciplinary research.

Journalism is the only profession protected by the Constitution because we serve as a check on power, even more critically since other checks are failing. This is dangerous. Healthy democracies do not threaten to jail journalists.
