Kieran McAnulty: Alcohol restrictions to ease over Easter Weekend

from Wellington Mornings with Nick Mills · host Newstalk ZB

Nick is joined by Labour MP Kieran McAnulty, who is fronting the new bill that will scrap the Easter alcohol rules.  Bars & restaurants (on-licence venues) will be able to sell alcohol normally on Good Friday & Easter Sunday. No more needing to buy a “substantial meal” just to get a drink. McAnulty shares why the rule change is necessary, saying it's silly and will make life easier for hospo visitors and workers.  Note: Since the interview this morning the bill has been signed off by the Governor General and will be active for Easter Weekend LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
