"If the particular application was granted harm or ill-health may be caused to people or any group of people due to the use of liquor, and therefore contrary to the public interest." and "Because Police had to attend to "incidents" somewhere in the CBD during a three month period last year" is not in my view except-able by its legal broadness. I also would wish to add it amazes me that a person with no commercial experience is able to lay comment about the Public's "need" I would have thought that in a free society we are assumed freedom of "Choice" and this raises another area of concern and should be debated in the correct forum, In my view the Police are neither qualified or commercially adapt to lay comment on what is the Public need and in saying this why should business should prove to a Government division what is it's own financial risk? I say allow the business to test what is "Public need" then and only then the question of "public need" will be tested and measured. I would hope that Karl realizes that business ideas are organic in nature and in order for a business to thrive we require require assistance fast action by the Government to keep afloat and not regulation that is self opinionated, over regulated and self indulgent. <br /><br />Here in-lye's the contradiction; it would seem a man in his position would not knowingly allow his offspring to purchase, use and carry illicit paraphernalia, I believe that such behavior by a Commissioner of Police is not in the Public interest.<br /><br />Maybe we should resubmit his own words back to him "If the particular application was granted harm or ill-health may be caused to people or any group of people due to the use of liquor, and therefore contrary to the public interest", and change the words "liquor" to drugs is not in the public interest, where by the very Drugs that may or may not have been carried into your home and consumed by his son could also be and not to mention lead the police to "had to attend to "incidents" relating to your sons actions. But instead you choose to ignore the real issues and punish hard working and inspired business people that wish to create social places of gather. <br /><br />Guess the only logical difference here is that such licenses do not exist for Drug dealers and users and hence they need not to apply, But i should remind you that YOU ARE IN THE POSITION TO DENY drug dealers and users and your concentrated efforts to stem drug related violence you should be directed to the real issue and loosen up on the Licensing reg's. But rest assured your plight against the liberation of the people is fruitless we still have bottle shops and Facebook buddy soon to be the future of the Public's interest in fun town.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4407350117707397641.post-55368022659189548202014-08-17T09:34:54.855+08:002014-08-17T09:34:54.855+08:00They've got it all backwards.

I heard somewhere that Perth has more murders (per capita) than any other city in Australia. Not sure if that's true or not. Perth really needs to get their current issues under control before they expand Northbridge. Although I do think that it would benefit from more alternative bars like Bird and Ezra Pound. They tend to attract the more "mature, responsible" crowd that generally don't cause major problems.<br /><br />Oh and there is a new Irish pub opening up in Midland sometime in the near future. Not like anyone really cares about Midland.

Bars provide an alternative to big messy, noisy pubs, which is ironically where I've always come across anti-social behaviour.

Perth is such a Nanna state if a business man or woman has the balls to venture out and start up a new restaurant as long as they can prove they have a decent business plan, have done the demographic research and have the appropriate licences and qualifications to run such a premises then they should be allowed to an encouraged to open a place of business. We are always looking for new places to eat, drink and relax. After a good 10 years of venturing out and trying different restaurants I feel as though we have tried everything Perth has to offer. If they gave the people more choice then we would be putting our money back into the WA economy rather than having to jump on a plane the first chance we get just to experience a little variety and choice! this should be a decision made by the local governments and by and residence not the police commissioner!!! The Australian government and police are so far out of touch with the people they might as well have some body on the other side of the world running this country.

It was unthinkable back then as it is now, despite new laws/ license types, to open up any kind of interesting cosmopolitan left or forward venue of any size in Perth. The development of Perth's drinking culture and facilities has been retarded as a result. Our drinking culture is STILL in its infancy it has not been allowed to develop. Another two traditional stakeholders that have aided this retardation are the Cabaret Owners Assoc and HIA who wear their industry hats when objecting to each and every new license to protect their own businesses - what a pack of..... Obviously they fear competition because they are sitting so fat and pretty. Ownership in and around the city of venues is way too concentrated - just look at Entertainment Enterprises, BOSS, and whoever ownes/ operates Rise and all the businesses on that corner in Northbridge. No new blood/ investment/ ideas in Northbridge in 20 years and look what you get. Sure Bird and Ezra are credible and being used by why are there not more? Were they simply the "token" approvals to herald in all this change and progression in the not-so-dull dullsville? I cannot believe the police are given so much credibility in the area. Perhaps things will change when police can issue $200 fines for any sign of intoxication. Prhas we will need to obtain a "drinking plate" and have videos reviewed and fines will be issued based on video evidence (fine + video evidence review and administration fee). <br /><br />So easy to rant about this but unfortunately - THIS IS PERTH!<br /><br />The City of Perth should lead more instead of taking a back seat to the state government and police. It is soooo embarrassing hosting people new to Perth and visiting from elsewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
