It has not worked in Brisbane the drunk just go elsewhere to start trouble. This will not work, that is right John.

Closing the pubs and clubs where the violence happens just moves those people into the other venues! Those bogans don’t leave, they just move to the next place!

I agree with Scott “If alcohol-fuelled violence is such a problem, then close those venues where it is a problem. Leave the rest of us alone!” – That’s what Ill be emailing Clover.

To be honest I thought her plan was to close venues at 2am (even though this is a ridiculous time to shut a club, 12am is just stupid).

Its such a dumb concept for a city like Sydney – doesn’t this women think?

I totally agree with you Maxi. There is no credible justification for closing ALL the bars and clubs at midnight, and it would probably sound the death knell for the remaining gay venues on Oxford Street.
I’ve also been having second thoughts about Clover for some time now, especially because of all the crazy road changes and parking restrictions we’ve had to suffer. It’s just getting too hard to visit Oxford Street for a lot of people, and this is changing the nature of strip for the worse – look at how we lost the Palace Academy Twin this year.
If alcohol-fuelled violence is such a problem, then close those venues where it is a problem. Leave the rest of us alone!

i like the idea of a midnight finish to the night. everyone can go home and get some sleep! If Los Angeles can still work with such a system, then surely Sydney can too.
