New Zealanders Create Island to Escape Alcohol Ban

Facing a ban in the alcohol free zone of the Tairua estuary in the Coromandel New Zealand a group of people built a new island, mounted a table and declared it to be in international waters therefore outside of New Zealand law. The local police were bemused by the effort going with Waikato eastern area commander Inspector John Kelly saying that if he had known about the plan he probably would have joined them.
