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.

The weekend that was...
Awesome weekend was had by all. Didn't get upto too much Saturday, few glasses of wine in the evening...today however was pretty good - went to Kings Park for a few hours - lunched it and took some pretty cool photos too.
Anyway, Pride next weekend - cannot wait. I haven't clubbed for the last two weeks in anticipation, and it will also be my last week working at the club, so all the more reason to get merry.
Seeing as I will have my entire weekends free, I've been craving a roadtrip down south - somewhere - wherever Magna and Navman take me. Last time we ended up in Margaret River, Pemberton and a lovely little town somewhere along the way...was really good. Any excuse to get the fuck out of Perth for a couple of days right?
