barry o'farrell, You have the opportunity for NSW to catch up to the rest of the world in front of you – take it.

If liquor reform is important in the city, it is crucial in rural NSW.

We run a small licensed restaurant in Ulladulla on the south coast.  Our clients constantly request the option of having a quiet afternoon drink without necessarily having to order food.  There is no option in our town for these clients.

No disrespect to other licensed premises but ……

In Ulladulla there is only one pub and that's the place for loud music, and "boozing-style" behaviour enjoyed by youth but not the more mature local or tourist. The other option for just a drink is one of the innumerable clubs in the area – the main haunt of those who like to gamble while drinking – but certainly not everyone's idea of a pleasant spot for a quiet drink.

The current drink and dine licence option is prohibitively expensive for small seasonal operations such as ours.
Coastal towns depend on tourism – we must be able to provide the services tourists expect – or they will spend their dollars out of state. 

Not good for NSW Tourism; not good for the NSW economy.

You have the opportunity for NSW to catch up to the rest of the world in front of you – take it.
