Booze bungle causes dry summer

Drinking in public, even carrying alcohol outside the home or workplace, is now illegal.

The government had planned to pass a law which would let councils to enforce liquor bans at New Years trouble spots, but one misplaced word has now effectively brought in prohibition.

Parliament has made it illegal to even carry alcohol in a public place.

The law was meant to cover places where councils had banned drinking. But a one word error in the bill means any public place is now off limits.

The law means that as soon as someone steps outside the carpark a police officer can ask them to hand over any alcohol they are carrying, tip it down the drain, or fine the offender $500 if they refuses to do so.

so how r u ment to buy alcohol and get it home

That's how they fucked it up. Good ole Winnie's blaming it on the printers. They're rushing through another law to cancel it out. Go the tax payers' money.

Yeah, it's bloody stupid eh? Just slack, really.

thats fuckin pathetic.

Im sorry, how much do those incompetent mofos get paid?

On 2nd thoughts, i don't wanna know.

You would think that the polititions wouldn't make stupid mistakes like that.

How is this going to affect Christmas and New Years?
Cops have an excuse to make trouble now.

Maybe homebrew might replace liquor stores?
I need to buy me a hipflask

yeah a hipflask sounds like a plan

Why dont they just do like in America and have brown paper bags to conceal bottles???

they do dnt they. well they do sumtimes , i got my vodka in a brown papper bag yesterday.

I the greens fault that the law is fucked. There is some proccess where by they can quickly change the words without having to go through a huge big long expensive proccess and the greens voted against doing it, they're just as useless and the rest of them.
