1 week ago | 88 views

A new Bill has been introduced in New Zealand to simplify and reform alcohol laws, reducing bureaucratic red tape and supporting economic growth, particularly benefiting the hospitality sector. Key changes include streamlining licensing processes, allowing extended hours for major events, permitting clubs and certain restaurants to serve alcohol more flexibly, and exempting hairdressers and barbers from onerous licensing requirements. The reforms aim to balance responsible adult choice with harm reduction, with further improvements expected following ongoing sector consultations and regulatory reviews.

This means that more Kiwis have to go through the tedious legal process that is probate, while they are mourning,” Mr Seymour says.
