Green politician Chlöe Swarbrick is set to take on the booze business.  

Her alcohol reduction bill, recently drawn from the biscuit tin, proposes a range of changes to the sale and advertising of alcohol. 

Many councils have already thrown their support behind the suggested changes, but the politician faces a fight against some of the wealthiest lobbies in the country.

So, what does the bill actually aim to do? And what are the chances of it winning enough support to pass into law?    

Today, Damien is joined by Swarbrick for a discussion on why New Zealand’s alcohol laws need to change, why she's keen to take on alcohol lobby groups, and why she isn't here to taking away people's drinks.
