In a dramatic illustration of the power of user-generated internet content, consumers have embraced a NSW Government website that 'names and shames' dodgy restaurants, the ABC reports.
The NSW Food Safety Act was amended earlier this year to allow the Food Authority to publish details of restaurants that receive penalty notices via its website.
According to the report, dozens of eateries have already been reported to the website by consumers. Complaint topics include pest control, faulty equipment and poor hygiene.
The online service has been receiving up to 1,200 hits a day since its introduction last month.
