Ban To Go
The end of the liquor pro hibition on Nauru appears to be in sight.
A private member’s bill is to be introduced into the next meeting of the Nauru Legisla tive Council, which has a Nauruan majority. The bill will call for abolition of the restric tions on drink. Under the Arms, Liquor and Opium Prohibition Ordinance of 1936 Nauruans and Gilbert and Ellice Islanders recruited from their home islands to work for the phos phate industry may not drink.
Breaches of the liquor ordinance constitute the greatest number of offences dealt with by the island’s courts.
