Backflip?

I wouldn’t call it a backflip, the premises will still be charged more then they were before the reforms, it’s more to make it fair on the smaller businesses, so places like say The Phoenix aren’t being charged the same as Mooseheads.

Seem’s fair to me, why would a small pub that can hold a total of 90 people be charged the same as a club that can hold 8 or 9 times that amount.

Interesting to see that more places applied for a license this year then in the previous couple of years.

Besides people tend to drink less at smaller establishments, which means they cause less trouble when they leave. At places like moose, unipub, etc. people drink a lot more and cause a lot more problems when they leave.

If anything, the government should be encouraging small bars.

Exactly. How often to cops have to come and mop up after a brawl at a smaller, quieter establishment compared with somewhere like Mooseheads?

I think you will find that people drink the same amount no matter where they go, the problem is when you add another 6-700 people all getting intoxicated with them, getting kicked out at the same time when the problems start.

A decent public transport system which stops people having to loiter around whiled drunk waiting to get home will see the biggest reduction in alcohol fueled violence.
