ok ok so. . . this 2am lockout was pretty lame to begin with!!
for those people who don't know ( i copied this from a facebook group)
"Melbourne patrons will not be able to enter bars, pubs and nightclubs after 2am, under a three-month trial aimed at curbing the rise in violent, alcohol-fuelled assaults.
Victorian Premier John Brumby announced the move on Friday as part of a package of changes that also will see a 12-month freeze on new late-night licences being issued.
Violent assaults rose by about 17.5 per cent in Melbourne in the last year, Mr Brumby said.
The lockout restrictions will apply to inner city council areas of Melbourne, Yarra, Port Phillip and Stonnington and are aimed at preventing groups of drunks clashing on the street as they move between venues in the early hours of the morning.
It follows similar lockouts in the Victorian regional cities of Ballarat, Warrnambool and Bendigo, as well as in Queensland, which Mental Health Minister Lisa Neville said had reduced violence.
The restrictions in those areas reduced the number of assaults by 35-50 per cent and reduced ambulance call outs by up to 60 per cent, Ms Neville said.
"They are extremely effective," she said.
"We know that parents want to keep their children safe, they want their children safe on the streets, safe from alcohol related violence."
The floor of Crown Casino, restaurants and clubs such as RSL clubs will be exempt from the lockout restriction."
now whats making me ROFL is what i heard on the radio this morning. . .
they are saying the 2am lockout trial has failed and it has barely even begun haha
that really made my day awesomer knowing that this lockout has caused more bad than good. which is what i thought to begin with!!! Most of Melbourne knew that it'd make things worse!
it was just the highlight of the news
that and it was 3degrees this morning i was only wearing thin pants a tank top a scarf and a thin jacket(clearly in dance clothes) & i was freezing...serves me right for not checking the temprature before i leave the house
anyway its dinner time
