The Minister of Justice, Simon Power is excepted to announce changes in an alcohol law which could answer an outcry from the public. By giving greater power to local councils to make decisions over alcohol. So, the council will have the power to control the number of liquor licenses, more power to strip licenses from the liquor retailer. This could make the liquor retailers will face a tougher time to get licenses. Also, they will be able to change the opening hours of bars, pubs and restaurants from a widespread call from the public to restrict the sale of alcohol. They would endorse any provision to provide more ability to determine the number and locations of liquor outlets. Because there are a lot liquor outlets more than corner dairies in some areas.
In my opinion, it was great to see this news that New Zealand has some changes over the alcohol law. It's good to divide power to the local councils to make it easy to control things in the communities. Because, they are close, understand the problems and see what's going on the communites then they can find the solution quickly. Also, the alcohol will not make any good for people. In many times, we saw from the news that drunk people died from accident. Finally, I think it is the best solution to restrict the sale of alcohol because we can't stop people from drinking and alcohol. But, at least we can reduce the number of people who drinks and alcohol.
