We were intrigued when the all-seeing-eye detected a new page called “Liquor Licence Public Registers”.

With our catlike curiosity we downloaded the pdf and were further intrigued to find it completely blank.

But we were particularly thrilled to see it had taken four drafts to get here. Time to knock off for the weekend guys and maybe get some research in!

Having looked at the site, I think they’ve got some issues in automated generation.

Or it could be the case that it’s the usual level of service one gets from the ORS. One process that I was told would be complete last December is still going through the motions.

To be fair, that web page has no defined “content” of its own: it’s just showing a list of attached files. The PDF generation is most likely automated. Still, publishing a page with no content isn’t the smartest move… perhaps the ORS mob took your advice and invoked POETS day…

But POETS day is next Thursday, in Manuka:

Perhaps it could be POETF day.

Meanwhile, a little voice in my head is wondering why JB is spending his Friday looking up liquor licenses on-line, when he could be out there checking them in person. I assume, JB, that you do carefully and responsibly check the currency of the license of every purveyor of liquor before you do business at their establishment?
