New alcohol legislation could go further.  

The Bill put to Parliament yesterday includes a raft of changes to bar licences, aiming to cut red tape and bureaucracy.  

But Alcohol Beverages Council Executive Director Virginia Nicholls told Mike Hosking changes should also limit the number of district licensing committees.  

With 67 committees currently around the country, she says it's hard to create consistency.  

She says it's a reflection of out-of-date rules, that doesn't acknowledge a difference between a good and bad license holder.
