The Queensland Government's planned measures would have a negative impact on the economy and possibly exacerbate law and order issues surrounding entertainment zones.

"It is a reaction to a problem which will not go away if some venues close earlier," Head of the Valley Liquor Accord, Nick Braban, stated.

"Anti-social behaviour is a cultural problem, not an operational one. People will still engage in poor behaviour because of societal attitudes to drinking. Our concern is that closing the Valley down will simply kill small business, the majority of which are helping to change how adults consume alcohol by offering a quality over quantity experience.

"3am closures, 1am lockouts and 12am cessation of high alcohol drink service will force small, interesting, cutting edge businesses out and allow larger businesses predicated on quality offerings to survive, as they will be best able to ride out the medium term reset in attendance habits.

"We also think it is unrealistic to expect young people not to continue their 'partying' habits when bars and clubs close at 3am, or they are locked out at 1am. The party will continue in residential areas, with little to no supervision or control."

Mr Braban said it would also cost the industry jobs and impact the underground youth culture.

Although this is less strict compared to the 1920's alcohol ban, it will cause issues similar to those experienced back then. This places parties and people to go underground with their actions and place more people in harms way with no supervision or control. This would only make matter's worse. Not better. Small businesses suffer while big companies like casinos continue to cash in on the sale of alcohol and open doors.

We want the real issues tackled. Not the setting in which they arise. A woman gets attacked in a park. Are you going to blame the park and put that on lock down?? No. You need to take up the matter with the offender, THE SOURCE OF THE ISSUE!

Help us maintain our small businesses, jobs and venues from unnecessary restraints because of Labor's incompetence in identifying and coming up with ideas to rectify the real issues.
