Abstract
This article traces the evolution of alcohol policy in the Northern Territory, Australia, over the past half century, from the removal of prohibition on the possession and consumption of alcohol by Aboriginal people, to the emergence of spatially-defined restrictions which, while not overtly referring to Aborigines, are designed primarily to contain consumption in public by Aboriginal drinkers. Aboriginal alcohol-related problems, which are serious and broad-ranging, continue to be defined for policy purposes primarily by non-Aboriginal people in terms of public drunkenness and perceived threats to urban amenity. Meanwhile, a non-Aboriginal, heavy-drinking culture is positively sanctioned discursively through the social construction of “the Territorian.” The article argues that discourse and policies combine to perpetuate Aboriginal marginality with respect to urban spaces, and to deny a voice to Aboriginal people and organizations in defining alcohol-related problems and identifying solutions.
