2am Pub Lockout to be Trialled

Following a set of unique CBD liquor laws aimed at curbing inner city crime and violence... the state government looks set to trial a statewide 2am lockout!!
On the whole this seems a good move given the totally out of control behaviour and inability of some patrons to make sensible late night decisions!!

However, the recent focus on young drinkers smacks of more sereotyping and less definitive action with price hikes on so called alco-pops the thin end of the face saving wedge... there are so many conflicting messages at the heart of aussie culture it's going to take more than single issue responses to help young people make better choices around alcohol and partying!!
