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."
