This is the first time I've heard of this, but as I understand the new laws are:
- No sales after 10pm for off-site consumption
- No entrance after 1:30am
- No alcohol sales in venues after 3am
In the UK this has effectively been the law for a long time. The actual law allows 24hr licensing (for on-site consumption), but very few places have a license to sell alcohol after 1am.
Why exactly have these laws so drastically caused problems in Sydney?
- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoPerhaps there were other factors.
- driverdan 11y agoAs the article says, Sydney culture is different due to the previous laws. People didn't used to go to bars until late, 10:30 or 11:30. That means you have to either stay at one bar after 1:30 or just go home. Previously people bar hopped into the early morning.
