They certainly would each have needed a permit to drink on the jetty, as they crossed Aboriginal land by bus to get to the plane and at the airport - if that is in fact what they did. Another question is whether alcohol was sold on the boat - in which case they'd need a 'special' licence to do so. So it may not just be the permits issues of concern to at least the boat owner. Haven't heard any allegations about drinking on the plane to and from the Island.

They certainly have no qualms about confiscating Troop Carriers and Land Cruisers, so does the principle apply to a more expensive form of transport?

That is the issue. The boat cruise participants would have needed to have a permit allowing them to possess alcohol in the restricted area. Scullion et al have done a 'Liddy', which is why the police are involved. I'm sure Minister Scullion will be very supportive of the 'boats' exemption contained within the upcoming legislation. SATP,

In Qld it is prohibited for alcohol to be inside the areas of the Alcohol Management Plans. In the NT aircraft take off and land all the time with liquor overtly on board. In Qld this is not allowed, and is what got Liddy Clarke into trouble. The Scullion affair notwithstanding, the NT does have a permit system, which generally obtained by some of the permenant residents inside dry areas (usually police, teachers, health workers, art centre employees and so on) Qld has no such permit system, indeed teachers have been busted in Qld for having a stubby in their fridge, and have had their house searched on the suspicion that there may be a can of beer somewhere inside. Michael, I am quite right.

The restrictions in the NT are very tight. If you don't have a permit, it's illegal. Hence the police interest in Minister Scullions little trip. SATP, you’re quite wrong.

In the NT Liddy Clarke could have landed & taken off all day with grog aboard, and nobody would have cared.

Liddy Clarke then lost her seat at the next election.
