Firm line on liquor
PA Auckland Friday’s cricket test at Eden Park will also be a liquor and behaviour test. Police have warned they will not tolerate “drunken louts” at the Australia-New Zealand match. Inspector John Palmer, who will command a large police team at the five-day test, said yesterday that the police would take a very firm stand on misbehaviour. He said that "drunken and loutish behaviour” by a minority could determine whether the police would oppose the sale of liquor at booths, or liquor being taken into grounds by spectators, at future cricket matches. “Police took a firm line at the one-day international on February 13, when 74 arrests were made, and we’ll be taking the same approach for this test,” he said. The police had to consider maintaining law and order, and the safety of police staff and spectators at the match, Inspector Palmer said.
