From July, Queenslanders won’t be able to get a drink past 3am if they’re not in a casino.

The state government persisted through a long, emotional and fiery debate over the lockout laws early this morning.

Labor celebrated the last-minute deal as it secured the Katter’s Australian Party MPs support, this secured the lockout legislation’s success.

The LNP accused Labor of ‘self-righteousness’ and ‘cherry-picking’ from research as the government blasted the opposition for not supporting the measures.

Nightclub and pub owners have been left to seriously consider their future as they will now have to stop selling alcohol from 2am, with an extra hour allowed for those in entertainment precincts.

Labor conceded to a delay in implementing the 1am lockout, two hours earlier than the 3am one present, until February next year.

Casinos will remain exempt from the legislation, like NSW. The Palaszczuk government argued drinking was not the main activity there.

The laws will ban rapid consumption of shots after midnight, but may consider excluding shots of spirits that don’t come with ‘risque names’.

However, like in Sydney, nightlife supporters, workers and business owners feel they have been let down by the plans.

Lobby group Our Nightlife Queensland has already labelled the laws "draconian", saying they will cost jobs and business.

Nick Braban from Our Nightlife told 7 News the anger was yet to sink in for many yet.

"It's sadness and disappointment," he said.

“Jobs are going to be lost, businesses will close, musicians will struggle for gigs, youth unemployment will skyrocket,” he said.

The debate and the legislation belonged to Stafford MP Anthony Lynham, who joined the party on the back of its commitment to support lockout laws.
