Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

I welcome the Bill and congratulate the Minister on his urgent action in dealing with matters of immediate public concern. I look forward to the early passage of the Bill into law as well as the promised major Bill dealing with licensing law promised for mid-2004. The Enlightenment philosopher John Locke once noted, that for laws to be effective they need to be written in men's hearts. The Minister's actions in bringing forward the Bill are compatible with that sentiment.
