No lockout exemption for MardiGras night
(Matt Akersten, 3 December 2014, Same Same)
Even though Sydney’s 1:30am bar and club lockout laws will be eased on New Year’s Eve, a statement from the Office of Liquor, Gaming & Racing makes it clear that no such leniency is possible for Mardi Gras weekend.
Same Same contacted the NSW Minister for Liquor, Gaming and Racing after Sydney MP Alex Greenwich said he was seeking an exception to the 1:30am lockout laws for Mardi Gras big parade and party night, which is a big tourist draw for the city.
