It'll be the Auckland University Of Tautology University.
Or maybe the "we're not a UNIversity coz the rotten government didn't let us and made us stay a TECh".

Jack wins - it took 16 pages for a Prince Albert joke to pierce this discussion..

Salient has called off the lawyers
Oh good. I wonder why they used real lawyers.
Could they not have got all the students taking Frivolous And Vexatious 215 to dash off a warning letter.

I can buy Waiheke wine either at the Waiheke supermarket,
And you're positive the wine doesn't go to a South Auckland warehouse and back before hitting the shelves?

BTW, I forgot to give ups to Shalimar in Wellington, who have the worlds untidyest fridge but are open when other stores are shut!
Of course, the government wants to shut them down..

I don't think restrictive practices and deliberately inconveniencing people are the way to reduce alcohol abuse. True pissheads will always find a way to get booze, whether it's stockpiling, homebrew, or informal trading. The state fails hugely at suppressing weed, after all.
What should be banned is the practice of supermarkets refusing to supply trade. If they want to sell $6.99 bottles of chardonnay or 20c cans of beans, a grocery store owner should be allowed to walk into the store and buy cases of the stuff. Not supplying trade is a restrictive practice (UK supermarkets happily supply trade for the most part and will even do special orders and so forth).
