Drinking By Laws
Having worked in central Auckland for over 20 years and spent many Saturday mornings with a bucket of hot water (capful of Janola) and a stiff broom I welcome any change to the drinking law that makes the central city a nicer place.

A safe, clean and idiot free City holds far more appeal.
