Anyone remember the Alcopops Tax by Labor Grin

Yes.

The alcopops tax was meant to stop teenagers binge drinking, it did nothing apart from raising a few billion in taxes.
The cigarette tax was supposed to stop people smoking, it hasn't achieved that yet has raised billions in taxes.
If the government can sell it as being for your own god the sheeple say nothing about the massive new taxes.

The lockout laws are a joke, they came about because someone was assaulted in the street it had nothing to do with nightclubs.
Why should nightclubs be punished because of dickheads bashing people in the streets?

Because they are obliged to enforce responsible service of alcohol - the fine for not doing so is heavy. If they allow patrons to over-indulge and those patrons then go out in the street and cause mayhem - the night club bears responsibility.

I like the electronic entry with ID.. any patron can be traced and then a decision made on club responsibility for drunkenness.

It simply moves the problem from the public arena where it can be managed relatively easily
and sends it behind closed doors at 'drinking-dens' etc.

Not a long bow to draw, to suggest a correlation with increased home-assaults and domestic
violence.

Well that's the partners choice ain't it. They choose their lifestyle. WE choose to keep it off our streets.

It's called FREE WILL. Only they can change their decisions.
