This is absolutely ludicrous! Wake up government! Your rationale does not make any sense to the general community, in fact I am not sure that there is any rationale in your planning. Take time out, listen to the music …. or at the very least the public who clearly have not been listened to until now!.

so they take away live music and then all people have to do is drink and look at each other and of course the violence is going to miraculously subside!!!!

The violence is not at the live venues – it is at the nightclubs that have music until 3 am and continuing to serv alcohol to people who are clearly intoxicated. Removing all live entertainment is not going to solve any of the problem.

People who go and see bands often regularly go and see those bands and tend to know each other. The violence is on the streets after being in a club drinking.

Don't close live venues, increase the police presence on the streets, and close nightclubs at 1am as a start.

Don't people from all over the world come to experience our live music culture here in Melbourne? Think about what you're doing for tourism also!
Music is a UNIVERSAL language, people LIVE to see live acts, people LIVE to play to punters.

Lets not forget the HUGE impact on live music in Victoria, with the introduction of Tabaret pokies, by former Labor Premier Joan Kirner. This led to the conversion of our favorite band venues (must mention Cross Keys Hotel & the mighty Bell St Rock!) to pokie palaces.. & the addiction to pokies tax revenue continues obscenely with Premier Brumby.. The increase in licence fees now seems to be the final death knell. So much for the previously much-touted labor government "support" of the arts and music, by the one-eyed lefties..
