Easter trading hours a 'circus'
8:57AM Friday April 06, 2007
The Government is under fire for the "circus" of Easter trading laws.
Cameron Brewer of the Newmarket Business Association said the law "will again cause a circus this weekend with many retailers crying foul and others feeling they have no option but to break the law."
He said it was crazy that Parnell could trade on Easter Sunday but Newmarket could not.
"It's equally crazy that visitor destinations like Queenstown and Taupo can trade, but Rotorua, Mt Maunganui and Wanaka can't and desperately want to."
He said the government should have promoted Labour MP Steve Chadwick's private member's bill on Easter trading to become a Government measure, giving it legislative priority.
