Melbourne Considers Extending Indiginous Lockout

Well, this is news to me. Another reason to hate our State Premier, then :/.

I've heard of the curfew in which all bars in Melbourne would close at 2am, but it's been a massive failure. The intention of the lockout was the lessen the violence among the streets of Melbourne, but the curfew seemed to have increased it.

So much for the "Indigenous Reconciliation" we had last year :/. Due to the limited amount of support Australia has for its Indigenous citizens, a lot of them turn to alcohol, drugs or abuse. Health cover and general support for Aboriginals is limited as well, not to mention an unintentional "zoning" of the group.

I think the lockout towards Indigenous people is borderline racist, but it is a fact that many Aboriginals do turn to a lot of alcohol because of the oppression society has upon them. They also do get rowdy, but to target them specifically for a lockout is ludicrous. What about the Redneck Aussies (bogans)? What about other ethic groups, some of which are notorious for bad behavior due to drinking?

In conclusion, Brumby, your time is over. You'll be replaced in the next state elections.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
