Unnecessary agro due to excessive consumption of alcohol and high on illicit drugs perhaps? Maybe LKF should introduce "lock out laws" like they have in Sydney to prevent further violence. It won't be good for business and Alan Zeman would probably go broke. Can you imagine the mayhem? HK and lock out laws!! Lol
but the outcome would be this:
1. No further violence
2. HK police can continue to work under the current work ethics (or the lack thereof)
Sydney's alcohol laws
1.30am lockouts and 3am last drinks laws are in force across the new Sydney CBD Entertainment Precinct.
The new laws are part of the NSW Government's crackdown on drug and alcohol-fuelled violence and also include a NSW-wide ban on takeaway alcohol sales after 10pm.
New precinct laws include:
- Lock outs and last drinks: 1.30am lockouts and 3am last drinks at hotels, registered clubs, nightclubs and licenced karaoke bars. Small bars (maximum 60 people), most restaurants and tourism accommodation establishments are exempt. Venues currently licensed to stay open after 3am can do so without alcohol service.
- Temporary bans: of 48 hours for troublemakers.
- Takeaway alcohol sales: stop at 10pm for bottle shops, hotels and clubs. This law is NSW-wide.
- Liquor licenses: two year freeze on approvals for new and existing licenses.
- Revoking of Competency cards and disqualifications: (up to 12 months) for bar staff breaching responsible service of alcohol requirements.
- Licensee fines: of up to $11,000 and/or imprisonment of up to 12 months, as well as strikes under the Government's Three Strikes disciplinary scheme for failure to comply with the new laws.
