Table 23 disaggregates the <strong>Territory</strong>’s gambling expenditure (or net player loss) into differentgambling forms. It is evident that player losses vary across the different forms <strong>of</strong> gamblingbecause some forms <strong>of</strong> gambling are based on chance and probabilities, while others haveelements <strong>of</strong> skill and judgement, so the likelihood <strong>of</strong> losing is not always the same. Thesedifferences also explain why there is not necessarily a direct correlation between the spread<strong>of</strong> turnover and the spread <strong>of</strong> expenditure. For example, race betting represented 51% <strong>of</strong> theamount wagered in 2009 with only 38% <strong>of</strong> player loss in 2009, while casinos contributed 17.5%<strong>of</strong> gambling turnover in 2009 and 24% <strong>of</strong> player loss in 2009.20 <strong>Northern</strong> <strong>Territory</strong> <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Justice</strong>

Wholesale Alcohol Supply 1Wholesalers registered to trade alcohol in the <strong>Northern</strong> <strong>Territory</strong> (NT) provide the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong><strong>Justice</strong> with data on the volumes <strong>of</strong> alcohol supplied to licensed retailers by product type: caskwine, bottled wine, fortified wine, cider, standard spirits, pre‐mixed spirits, full‐strength beer,mid‐strength beer and low‐strength beer.The volume <strong>of</strong> each product supplied into the NT is multiplied by its estimated fraction <strong>of</strong> alcoholcontent so that the amount <strong>of</strong> pure alcohol associated with each product type can be compared.The figures presented in this document represent the wholesale supply in litres <strong>of</strong> Pure AlcoholContent (PAC). Wholesale PAC supply statistics are presented for the <strong>Territory</strong> as a whole; each<strong>of</strong> the following urban centres: Darwin, Palmerston, Alice Springs, Katherine, Tennant Creek andNhulunbuy; and for the NT Balance 2 .A measure <strong>of</strong> the apparent per capita consumption <strong>of</strong> alcohol in the NT is determined bydividing the total alcohol supplied into the <strong>Territory</strong> by an estimate <strong>of</strong> the population likely to bedrinking. National statistics include those people aged 15 years and above as the likely drinkingpopulation.As the <strong>Territory</strong> is a major centre for tourism, the total NT population likely to be drinking isderived by adding the estimates <strong>of</strong> the interstate and international tourist numbers 3 to theAustralian Bureau <strong>of</strong> Statistics NT population estimates 4 aged 15 years and over. Apparentconsumption can only be reliably calculated for the whole <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Territory</strong> as population estimatesmay be unreliable at lower geographic levels. Where population figures are quoted for regionalareas, they are the Australian Bureau <strong>of</strong> Statistics estimated residential population <strong>of</strong> peopleaged 15 years and above.Per Capita ConsumptionTable 24 and Chart 11 show the estimated per capita consumption <strong>of</strong> alcohol in the <strong>Northern</strong><strong>Territory</strong> for the period 2002 to 2009.Table 24: Per Capita Consumption – <strong>Northern</strong> <strong>Territory</strong> 52002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009Consumption 13.9 14.4 15.2 15.3 14.7 14.7 14.3 14.0PAC Supply 2,401,798 2,427,044 2,616,018 2,688,663 2,706,671 2,748,430 2,733,794 2,749,010Population Estimates 172,494 169,005 172,492 176,103 183,514 186,934 190,517 196,615Per capita consumption <strong>of</strong> alcohol in the NT peaked in 2005, and has been decreasing eachyear since. It decreased by 2.6% from 2008 to 2009.1 Since the previous publication, some data exceptions were detected in the alcohol returns submitted by wholesalersin previous years. Those wholesalers have since submitted revised returns and some duplicated records weredeleted. The data revision resulted in minor changes to the previously published figures.2 NT Balance is defined as the rest <strong>of</strong> the NT after the urban centres (i.e. – Darwin, Palmerston, Alice Springs,Katherine, Tennant Creek and Nhulunbuy) have been removed.3 Based on calendar year estimates from Tourism Research Australia <strong>of</strong> interstate and international tourist nightsaged 15 years and over.4 Based on yearly June 30 estimates from the Australian Bureau <strong>of</strong> Statistics 3235.0 – Population by Age andSex, Regions <strong>of</strong> Australia.5 The methodology for estimating the NT population changed for this release. The tourist estimates are nowcalculated for the year ending December, rather than the year ending June, to better match the calendar yearreporting periods.
