JULIA Gillard will today declare that "rivers of grog" are returning to indigenous communities and commit her government to take action against the Northern Territory and Queensland governments over "any irresponsible policy changes" to overturn alcohol bans.
The Prime Minister will use her annual Closing the Gap statement to parliament today to warn that the disadvantage gap confronting Aborigines cannot be closed if alcohol is allowed back into their communities.
