Honestly, how could anyone think that this blanket curfew is going to do more good than it is harm? The decision to implement this is being made by a couple of government mooks who have no experience of life outside their homes past 1am and are doing this purely for their own agendas, making them seem like moral soldiers when in reality, it's just a proposed band-aid solution to an overhyped problem for clueless people to look at and go "wow they're doing something to benefit our city!". The government are simply too lazy to put proper countermeasures in place (such as more patrolling police officers) in troubled areas and hotspots for voilence and instead propose something which will also negatively impact venues that have very little/no history of violence.

From all accounts, the 3am blanket has fucked Brisbane nightlife up and if it spreads to the Cross etc Sydney will be next (it's already started in a few places in the CBD along Pitt st. etc). Public transport is another major issue which these clowns have somehow managed to overlook - yet more proof there has been close to no research done. 3am is changeover time for cabs, even now, without every man and his dog trying to find a cab at 3am it is nearly impossible to get one .. couple that with no trains running and lack of buses and you have yourself human gridlock.

Plus i really don't think that sending a bunch of drunks to all converge in the city/cross at the same time is going to impede violence, if anything its going to make it more likely.

They brought them in down in Tassie recently and I haven't noticed too much of a problem, except once when I forgot and couldn't get in.

Thing is, I'm normally IN the club, so I don't notice the wankers on the outside

Halt! Hammerzeit!

catching a cab is a right pain, at least in hobart. you now have people wandering around at 3am coz they missed out, though this problem has lessened as people got used to it.

never been a fan of governments telling business when they can and cannot trade.

Oh noes! No more revs/161 at 6am!

When does the lockout finish?

If venues were allowed to start letting people back in at 8am, that's okay, because no one goes to revs before then anyway.

well said, finding a cab in sydney at that time is fucking impossible, retarded idea.
