Over the next few weeks, we're revisiting some of the major stories covered in 2022. 

Aotearoa has had a bit of a reckoning with its drinking culture. 

Multiple documentaries and personal stories have spotlighted the harm drinking can have, while non-alcoholic drinks and initiatives are gaining traction.  

Among those taking a stand is Green MP Chlöe Swarbrick. The Auckland Central representative introduced a bill aimed at changing the laws around the sale and advertising of alcohol in this country.

And while the Government is set to adopt some of the proposed reforms, they don’t go as far as what Swarbrick would like to see. 

The MP joined Damien back in July to explain why she has taken on this fight, and why she’s willing to take on the lobby groups to see change enacted.
