(As an aside, I really wish you would check your facts before posting, number_6 - you get things wrong more often than you get things right).

The OP's question was what legislation controlled what the resort did (with the implication that the resort management was deciding and not the law); since you are a stickler for facts, note that it is an AMP that caused the OP's observed resort behaviour, and that AMP is not legislated or provieded for in the law except in the law creating the Licensing Commission. The AMP is entirely by regulation and not legislation; I suppose the practical impact of this is only that the voters in the NT cannot directly affect the terms of the AMP and have little say in the matter. More to the point, the resort operator may be guilty of not explaining the rules to tourists, but isn't guilty of creating the rules or discriminating against non-guests.
