If the New South Wales government have their way, Kings Cross is set to change in a huge way.
On Friday and Saturday nights after midnight, the NSW Government proposes to:
-Ban shots (no more birthday shots)
-Ban cocktails (no more mojitos)
-Ban doubles (no more scotch on the rocks)
-Ban glassware (no more bottled wine or beer)
-Restrict sales to no more than 4 drinks per person at a time (no more shouting your mates)
-Force venues to stop serving drinks an hour before close.
Naturally, Kings Cross clubs don't want this to happen. They claim the Government's plan will lose them up to $1 million a month, as well as costing jobs and potentially shutting down some of your favourite restaurants and bars.
While acknowledging that the area does have a crime problem that needs to be fixed, the 'WeLoveKingsX' campaign is proposing more police, a zero tolerance approach to violence, more street CCTV cameras and more late night public transport as an alternative to harsh anti-liquor laws.
