The Feed forum: lockout laws

Lee Lin Chin asks "Where the bloody hell are you?" in a clever promo for a forum on The Feed.

Next Tuesday The Feed on SBS 2 gets all Insight and hosts a special forum on Lockout Laws.

But not without a little help from Lee Lin Chin to promote it….

Are the lockout laws working?
Are we saving lives but sacrificing jobs?
Can Sydney be a vibrant international tourist destination if our streets aren’t safe?
Are we all being made to pay for a few people’s mistakes?

Last month thousands took to the streets to protest against the lockout laws, while a Facebook post on the subject by State Premier Mike Baird drew over 15,000 heated responses.

Now, with Queensland about to adopt similar legislation, the controversy is bound to spread even further.

For the first time, Marc Fennell leads a panel bringing the key players of this contentious issue. Doctors, protestors, politicans, and local residents will hammer out the issues face to face in front of an audience at a Kings Cross pub.

On the panel:
Michael Christie, the father of 18-year-old king hit casuality Daniel Christie
Tyson Koh, the rally organiser of Keep Sydney Open
Tony Grabs, a surgeon at King’ Cross’ closest hospital, St Vincents
Senator David Leyonhjelm, NSW Senator for the Liberal Democratic Party
Anthony Lynham, Queensland Minister for State Development and facial reconstructive surgeon
Helen Crossing, convener of the Kings Cross Residents’ Association

7:30pm Tuesday SBS 2.

  1. Not a very balanced panel – 5 pro, 1 against and no one impartial. It would have been good to have someone from Melbourne to explain how they reduced violence instead of using lockout laws. Also wish the media would stop focussing on Kings Cross since these laws have effected the entire city. And I’m looking forward to an explanation of why the casino has an exemption, especially since violence has risen in that area.
