While I agree people should be able to picnic without alcohol, I don’t think the laws are helping to stop either drinking or public nuisance.
There are lots of oibs where you can still drink. It’s just more expensive and more commercially focused, and you can keep going past what you planned.
Council banning things on a purity basis erodes freedoms. If people become a nuisance, alcohol or not, deal with it then.
Mate, they’re banning alcohol, not picnics.
If you’re incapable of having a picnic or even a gathering without alcohol, you’ve got bigger problems than a council ban
