Cleretic posted:Yeah, that's kinda the pain about this one. He makes good points, and he's genuinely managed to find good data to back them up, but then he just vomits a bunch of libertarian nonsense all over it instead of either following it to its actual source or, better yet, just letting the facts stand and not publishing a boated mess of an article. Yeah, I generally agree that the lockout laws are stupid and harmful to Sydney, but god drat if this guy doesn't do his best to make me want to disagree with him. You could play a game of bingo with the cliche'd libertarian whinges.

I think dying on his way to the Royal Commission would be a fitting way for Pell to go.

Is it just drinking that is getting harder (I read the fire codes shutting down venues bit that sucks) or are they making anything after dark hard to do?

Picture of before the protest in Brisbane, Recoome sighted in this picture (white guy, black shirt left of frame). I held up one of the Close the Camps signs That was a good demonstration, although the Police were on the back-foot because the protest was too large for the space and the police didn't anticipate this, so they ended up closing a lane. Peaceful, good speakers, good cause.

Border force officials have confirmed that the agency has turned back 23 vessels since Operation Sovereign Borders began, but they decline to say whether immigration officials paid people smugglers to reroute vessels.

The Melbourne rally last night was really great, I hypothetically assisted in burning the Immigration Act in the middle of a sit-in. Top notch it was.

the CBD lockout laws are poo poo if only because all the roided up fuckwits with anger issues are now spending more time in Newtown and Enmore and generally bringing the same problems with them. Like I have said before, we DO have a culture, its just one of whinging about public safety and legislation pandering to it. 2 dead teenagers is no reason to close down a city after midnight.

I still don't get it, if there wasn't a problem then why does it matter if the behavior move elsewhere? If it's undesirable in Newton and Enmore then why wasn't it in the cbd?

You've taken a late night crowd from an area built up around having a late night crowd and stuck it in a suburb. I'd it that hard to grasp that an urban entertainment district is different to a suburban shopping strip?

And now that suburb's being changed for the worse. all food outlets close at midnight, with increased violence, increased numbers and they are coming from thecity half pissed and sobering up and getting cranky about it, with no loving food to buy to put them to sleep. If we stopped treating everyone like babbies perhaps they wouldnt act like it, you know, like everywhere else on earth.

The UK, America and Australia have real poo poo alcohol culture. There is a massive difference between a long lunch / dinner with a couple of drinks and our race to pass out before the pub closes.

"We have spent probably a decade trying to answer the question 'is the climate changing?'" he told Fairfax Media. "After Paris that question has been answered. The next question now is what do we do about it? The people that were so brilliant at measuring and modelling [climate change], they might not be the right people to figure out how to adapt to it."

Theres nothing wrong with alcohol culture though. I know people who can drink a case of beer on their own and they dont get to a point where they are punching randoms in the streets. the violence issue is another thing entirely separate from drinking that no one wants to talk about because its too hard to solve.

I saw a sticker on the back of a car this morning - "Fit in or gently caress off". It was in the shape of Australia and was the Australian flag as a background. We are making progress!

There's other issues with having such an unhealthy and pervasive alcohol culture. The impairment of judgement which comes with drinking alcohol is a concern but saying that there's nothing wrong with our alcohol culture is pretty hosed up and wrong.

Our unhealthy and pervasive alcohol culture? Give it a rest m8. Getting trashed on the weekend and hitting the town isn't a uniquely Australian thing. It happens all over the world and yet other countries somehow still manage to go on without arbitrary bullshit like lockout laws and banning of public drinking.

Ostensibly its just the drinking establishments and the clubs but in practice it hits businesses around them too. Restaurants, fast food, any late night shopping that benefits from the foot traffic has lost so much money they're closing or hibernating. Except the casinos who happen to have 24x7 licences. That's really dumb, because it won't drive people to the casinos, it'll just drive them away. And then they'll probably spend millions on bullshit studies to provide "family friendly" activities in the CBD at night and wonder why nothing sticks. What really boggles my mind is that at the same time they're doing this to inner Sydney because of drinking, apparently it's impossible to stop serving alcohol to vulnerable people because freedom. Someone pointed out that it could be toxic masculinity that's the root of the problem. Good thing we have Christians running things, then.

I realise this may come as a shock to many goons but not everyone wants to be tucked up behind the computer every night it's pretty funny to see all these posts smugly deriding the selfish desire of many adults to go out and drink after the sun has passed below the horizon
