It makes me wonder that kind of dillusioned twats run this country, with the recent termoil in the Liberal party, and the complete idiots who are in government. Today, however - I make reference to our state government, and the baboon we have as our police commisioner. That's right, he's a baboon.
So, the media have made a big hoo-ha about voilence in Northbridge, and Mr Barnett - along with his buddy Karl, have decided that they need to look like they are actually doing something to the Today Tonight viewers. Of course, ignoring the fact that 80% of reported anti social behaviour in Northbridge occurs between 11pm and 3am, with 20% occuring before and after those times, they decide the silver bullet is to;
- Have nightclubs close an hour earlier at 5am on Saturday and Sunday mornings;
- A "lockout" at 4am;
- Banning the sale of shooters and spirits after 1am.
How are any of these measures going to affect the 80% of incidents I mentioned above? It will simply harm business in Northbridge, and probably increase antisocial behaviour.
None of the above really effect me, when I do go out I usually leave at around 3.30am anyway - though I do enjoy a shot or two after 1am. Its really the principle - I see no point to it.
Singling out nightclubs when the vast majority of incidents, underage patrons and lack of security are at Hotels/Pubs such as the Elephant and Wheelbarrow, The Deen, The Court and Black Betty's is a waste of time and money.
Well, time shall tell. I believed the previous state government to be idiots, looks like these guys are just as bad.
Anyway, statistics I mentioned are here, where you can also join the Facebook group and keep updated.
