Simon's reform bought with another summer Nightrider trial

I used to respect Rattenbury – no longer.

This isn’t over yet.

Let’s trial something we’ve done many times before. Great use of our tax dollars.

It’s like bashing your head against a brick wall in the hope that one day it won’t hurt anymore.

So, new legislation which will last for at least a couple of years, and Greens managed to negotiate… a three month trial?

The ACT Govt has already conducted a three month trial of a nightrider service and found that it wasn’t worthwhile. They already had such data when they agreed to the trial, knowing the outcome.

Way to negotiate, Greens. Thanks to this decision, there’ll be extra financial pressures on live music venues which aren’t causing any social problems.

(And I note the submissions for the Regs are still not publicly available!)
