    Default fuck melbourne government I hate u assholes

    http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23633097-2,00.html

    Fucking great so now there is a curfew and even tho my club is open to 7am and beyond people won't be able to enter after 2am. well that's just fan fucking tastic.

    way to overregulate our lives once again. so much for a free society and free enterprise. once again a rule made by some no-life loser who gets into bed by 9pm every night and doesn't want anyone else having fun. how about mind your own business.

    so now people who want to step outside to smoke - because they banned smoking in clubs wont be allowed to re-enter.

    well i may as well just hang up the g-string now.

    I just sent an angry comment to that online news group. Hopefully it will get published.

    I can just image the losers who made this regulation, sitting around talking shit about stuff they no nothing about. Unbelievable.

    OH and surprise surprise guess who is exempt from this law? Crown casino. Guess the government didn't want to give up their precious gambling tax profits - FUCKING CUNTS.

    This is fucking ridiculous. I didn't even realise this was in consideration until today. So much for being democratic..

    This is gonna ruin business for us!! We usually get a big influx of guys at around 3am.
    Strip clubs rely on two types of customers:

    (1) those who plan a night out at a strip club
    (2) those who go out, drink and then end up wandering into a strip club later.

    It's not gonna be good.

    ^ Yeah that is exactly right.

    I seems a bit lazy of the government to not provide better security or whatever on the streets and just enforce a curfew. It's not only going to be bad for strip clubs but all clubs in the city especially as a lot of people in Melbourne don't actually go out until 11 or 12 anyway.

    And this stupid, fucking 'trial' thing. I can already see the govt making this a permanent thing and just trying to avoid confrontation

    yes and it won't combat alcohol fueled violence. people will just try to get out earlier and get their drinking in earlier. or alternatively they will just get drunk and hang around the streets instead of being in a controlled environment.

    i don't believe it's intended to really combat drinking. if it were then wouldn't it make more sense just to not let people in who are drunk (which is supposedly what is supposed to happen anyway) rather than turn away people who may even be sober. it's just stupid.

    it really angers me esp since the casino is once again exempt from a law (ie. smoking ban doesn't apply to high roller room) because they raise so much revenue for the government.

    Wow! I thought the whole 3am lockout/lockin thing was dramatic. Just FYI, Gold Coast "trialled" the 3am lock-out first before it started getting taken on by other towns/cities... and Brisbane was last to take on the whole 3am lock-out.... now it is state-wide. (in QLD).

    From my experience there will be a hiccup in business for the first three months as people get used to the new rules. Afterwards, it will be just like it was always there (that's how it has worked on the Coast at least).

    I still dislike and always detested the 3am lockout however in the end.. it's here to stay.. and everyone pretty much lives with it. The lock out usually gets extended by the clubs Indy, NYE and other such 'special' events.

    Yeah this is fucked. When does it start? Fucking ridiculous!! It's only going to cause more problems. I really hope it doesn't become permanent.

    Oh man, that lockout is why I ended up leaving the strip club scene. Time to go into private parties, VaJaijai!

    Lock down is fucked, its killed a lot of business and made a big difference to the clubs. I cant believe Melbourne is trailing it of all places, its such a backwards thing!

    Edited to add - why 2am?!!! Thats ridiculous!!! So Melbourne clubs will loose 5 hours worth of people through the door - we only lost 2 and that is bad enough. Clubs often tend to just die around 3 anyway now which is when our lockout begins. I dont know if all clubs do though or whether some manage ok.

    I found out last night that the owner of CF and MG is going to spend a fortune fighting it legally. My manager assured me this is not going to affect us.

    The whole 3am lockout was the original reason I started traveling for work OUTSIDE the Gold Coast (as it was "trialled" only on the Gold Coast at the start)... now that it is state-wide... nothing can be done in a way. I live with it not that I ever supported it.

    I agree with MsQ.. 5 hours is a lot of time to loose compared to just 2 hours.

    It says it begins in June. Hmmm.. I may have to re-think about working in Melbourne in August/Sept as I originally planned. I will now only go down if I can "guarantee" to make my money via private parties it seems ????

    Hmm...

    I know this probably sounds stupid..but in a way does this work to your favor. So, if people are going to get their drinking in earlier, won't they do the same with their clubbing? I mean, less hours worked for you right (or am I wrong and you still have to stay till 7) and potentially the same income if they really all do migrate to an earlier time of partying.
    I'm not saying I'm for this. I'm in the US, and I'm against rules for the most part. I'd only wish for Libertarian "take over" if that's what you'd call it.

    I'm with MsQ


    It never really changed the habits of people in SEQ ... and the lock out has been in effect state wide for awhile now... it just means that a LOT of girls will most likely not stay until 7am when it does come in effect in Melbourne.

    Plus I honestly think a lot of clubs might close around 3-5am as there really is no point in staying open until 7am when you have NO HOPE in gaining new customers (and you are stuck with the same 'old' ones).

    All I can say it is a sad state of affairs. I'm not a fan.

    the only way it could work in our favour is if owner of my club and MG gets a licence to open during those hours which he is planning to spend hundreds of thousands to do. if he is willing to spend that money he obviously thinks businesss will be affected or even destroyed by this curfew - I agree.
    if we had a licence and nightclubs didn't it could be busier.

    But from a civil liberties standpoint I am 100% totally against the idea.

    Re quoted for truth

    It's here to stay for the long haul the whole 3am lockout. Never was a fan (I even made the Courier Mail way back when the GC was about to trial it) .. never will be... doubt in my lifetime it will change.

    By the time it does (if it does), I'll be long gone out of the industry and it won't affect me personally too much.

    Come to think of it, I vaguely recall that some licensing restrictions or noise restrictions or something might have been recently changed in Melbourne due to provable ill effects on the music industry. Wonder if I can find the article...

    Yeah this is very very bad news, not just for us but for all employees of our industry as they will probably close early and that means that bouncers, waitresses, bus boys, managers will also suffer as it means less hours for them too... We should get some kind of compensation for loss of income (wishful thinking!!)

    My club wants to fight it too, they are saying that because technically the patrons are not coming to the club for the alcohol but the "entertainment" they should be exempt from the lockout the same way the restaurants have been.

    The lockout is stupid, if they want to stop violence outside the clubs then employ more police and designate a smoking area for clubs (indoors). What are they going to do next arrest you for standing on a side walk after 2am?

    If this thing actually happens I really hope that people in the suburbs have VERY VERY loud house parties because they have no place to go after 2am and piss off everyone around them and people will complain and they get rid of the stupid lockout.

    I was just reading that Publicans who fail to enforce the policy will be hit with fines of up to $6800.... But I think my club makes so much money that they might just pay the fine on weekends to stay open anyway... and if most other venues will be closed then it might even be worth it??
