Best Labour’s Members’ Bill ever

I have today submitted a Member's Bill repealing sections 47 and 48 of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012.

This will remove many restrictions on the sale of alcohol on ANZAC Day morning, Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Christmas Day.

Great to see a Labour MP promoting this law change. This will increase his majority in Wairarapa 🙂

Note it doesn’t mean places that would normally be closed on those days can open. It means places that are allowed to open don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on special licenses.
