Systemic Problem: I listened to the proposals of the liquor law reform select committee and sensed the systemic weakness inherent in our politicians which has been prevalent now for decades.
The Americanisation of our society has caused social problems that haven't been addressed by our laws and the politicians who make them. As is the case in greater Europe, I would support an end to Sunday trading other than essential services and selected tourist destinations. Liquor off-licence outlets would be caught in the net and there would be the obvious bonus of the reintroduction of a family day – think about it!

How about YOU think about it?

More force from the "beat it with a stick till it doesnt move" brigade! This guy wants to dictate when you can and cannot open your own shop! He also wants to dictate when you should spend time with your family (many already do that without the use of force - unbelievable I know!) I think we should BAN all those who want to ban people from doing things of their own accord. We should ban all those who think it is acceptable to use force on others to get what THEY want. In the world of supply and demand, more liquor stores open because more people wish to purchase with their own money, of their own free will - a product. If there was no demand for it (like for example crocheted toilet roll holders), people wouldnt bother opening up a new shop would they? - now YOU think about it!
