A new study suggests there's support among New Zealanders for banning alcohol sponsorship at sporting and community events.  

The Otago University-Cancer Society’s survey of more than 1400 people finds that 58% support a ban, and 19% oppose it.  

51% agree that the alcohol industry should not be involved in developing alcohol harm policies, while 16% disagree. 

Study co-author Professor Louise Signal told Francesca Rudkin that there are three main factors involved in reducing alcohol consumption: price, marketing, and accessibility.  

She thinks that the public is pretty supportive of policies in all of those areas.

A petition with more than 8000 signatures  is calling on MP's everywhere to support Chloe Swarbrick's new anti-alcohol bill.

The bill will ban alcohol sponsorship in sports and ban appeals of liquor licensing decisions.

Alcohol Healthwatch's Executive Director, Nicki Jackson, joins us here to talk about the bill and highlight that it raises good points, but doesn't look likely to pass.

"I can't make comment about what politicians think about a bill, it's important that we go into any debate with the evidence at hand and the evidence is really strong around the harm from alcohol sponsorships in sport."
