Inspectors to go undercover on P&O cruises
The NSW State Government plans to send inspectors on P&O cruises to observe behaviour of staff in respect to responsible service of alcohol.
P&O will pay the fares though staff on board will be unaware.
The Minister for Gaming and Racing, Grant McBride, said the inspections would allow the Government to see whether P&O was applying responsible service of alcohol and appropriate security.
He said: “While it is at the company’s invitation, officers will be going in undercover and crew members and patrons will be unaware of the operation.
“We are keen to do all we can to ensure citizens on cruise ships departing from NSW are protected.”
However, the inspectors will be powerless to act, just observe and report.
Where do we get a job like that?
