1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: Good news for sports fans this morning. It's seeming to

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: be easier to go to the pub for a big

3
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: overseas match. Changes to the alcohol regulation laws mean ministers

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: can grant one off special trading hours for businesses that

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: stream major events. Steve Gillett is owner of the Kingsland,

6
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: a pub in Auckland and is with me this morning. Steve,

7
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: good morning mate, how.

8
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: Are we good?

9
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: Thank you? Is this good news? Is this going to

10
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: make a difference?

11
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 2: Oh? I think it's just positive for the hospitality industry.

12
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 2: It's been pretty pretty tough out there at the moment,

13
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: and I think it's just an opportunity to get extra

14
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 2: revenue streams, to increase your top your total sales at

15
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 2: the end of the day. So it gives a guys

16
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: opportunity to open and let the community come in and

17
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 2: watch these games and support the local rugby games for sure.

18
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: Is it a major events they're talking about multiple a

19
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: year or is it just a very special occasion or

20
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: do we just have to wait and see that. It's

21
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: up to the minister's discretion.

22
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: I suppose, I guess. I mean, coming up, we've got

23
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: the NDV two of England Scotland Wales, that could be

24
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: an option there four o'clock am games, and then we've

25
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: got the Soccer World Cup next year, so definitely opportunities

26
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: there here to open for those games.

27
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: There's people who say, and some might call them walsers,

28
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 1: but people who say, well, is you know, if someone's

29
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: just lost a football match and they're wasted drunk and

30
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,639
Speaker 1: we're sending them out onto the street at nine am,

31
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: is it a sensible thing?

32
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: Well, I mean that's the thing where they are licensed

33
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 2: premises and we are regulated to keep eye. That's you know,

34
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: not intoxicated within the bar. So those guys can't be

35
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: in those in the premises. They have to be restricted

36
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: and not allowed in there. So you know, if everyone's

37
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: keeping to those of rules, those people shouldn't be in

38
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: those premises anyway. But you know we've done it before.

39
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: We've done it for the soccer, for the Rugby World Cup,

40
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: Cricket World Cup and done it quite well, not had

41
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: those problems and nothing's really come back, and that us'

42
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: the the residual.

43
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: You can say, Steve. There's also some changes to supermarkets

44
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: and bottle stores and stuff like that, which I know

45
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: governments of all creeds have changed over the years. What

46
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: is there much Do you notice the difference when they

47
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: restrict in Auckland as they have the hours for supermarkets

48
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: and bottle stores. Does it have much of an effect

49
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: on the pub?

50
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think people, you know, will

51
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 2: just work with what's happening. You know, there's a certain

52
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 2: how you're going to buy a whole, they'll go out

53
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: and do that and pre buy it and do that

54
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: and then we know when it comes to the bars,

55
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 2: we'll just tell up the bars when they're open and

56
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: you know, just as it is.

57
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, appreciate your time. Steve Steve get At, owner
