Show Notes
West Auckland MP, Simon Court has lodged a new members bill to abolish New Zealand's last remaining liquor monopolies.
He says its frankly condescending to the nearly 300,000 people who live in West Auckland as well as the people who live in Invercargill and Gore - that they can't enjoy the same access to hospitalityand purchasing beer or wine than everywhere else in New Zealand.
Court believes that they deserve the same rights as the rest of New Zealanders.
He says that not only are they lacking choice but there's also a huge opportunity in terms of jobs and economy for West Auckland to participate that they don't currently have.
