Some changes have been made to the controversial Alcohol Reform Bill, but opposition parties say they don't go far enough. The Bill will come before Parliament next month, with some small amendments expected, but not major changes such as the introduction of a minimum pricing on alcohol. Green MP Kevin Hague says the announcement's been made early, to act as a smokescreen by the Government to hide other issues it's facing.
