IT is irrational for the National Pandemic Response Controller David Manning and those in authority not to allow shops to open their cellars and beer outlets.
Many people have lost their jobs because of this.
What is going to happen to the major sponsor of our beloved SP PNG Hunters, who are currently living and playing in Australia?
It does not make sense when we go to a shop and do our shopping for groceries and other necessities but cannot buy a pack of our favorite alcoholic beverage in the same shop because of this situation.
Illegal bootlegging and consumption of illicit and illegally-produced alcohol are booming.
Will the legal breweries still pay taxes for the time and profit lost during this period?
Our rights to choose what we take has been suppressed.
