【Japani Malish (2025) EP 4-6 Hindi Web Series】
A lot of people are Japani Malish (2025) EP 4-6 Hindi Web Seriesgoing to be very disappointed. A highly anticipated inquiry into Sydney's lockout laws has found the rules could be "relaxed" for live entertainment venues by a whopping 30 minutes.
Led by former High Court judge Ian Callinan, the report recommends the 1.30 a.m. lockout and 3 a.m. last drinks times in certain live music venues should be pushed to 2 a.m. and 3.30 a.m. respectively.

The laws were originally passed in an effort to end alcohol-fuelled violence in Sydney's key nightlife areas, such as Kings Cross.

Callinan acknowledged the adverse effect the lockout laws had had on bar staff and live entertainers, but couldn't put a figure on it. "There has been unquantifiable adverse impact on live entertainment, profits and employment opportunities in the Precincts," he wrote.
The report suggested the lockout and last drinks times should be relaxed for a trial period of two years at venues where "live entertainment is being generally continuously offered."
However, the report called for a clarification of what should be defined as "live entertainment," with Callinan pointing out that anyone employed to play recorded music needed to bring an additional "creative element, otherwise it would be easy to evade the operation of the laws."
In other words, some person operating iTunes on a computer should not be treated the same as a DJ mixing music as part of a venue's "live entertainment" offering.

Critics of the law had suggested the lockouts had simply moved crowds to other parts of the city, while shuttering businesses in key entertainment precincts.
The report didn't find this to be the case, stating the displacement to other areas of Sydney (including the Star casino) had been minor. It did note crowds were generally going out later than they had in the past and that the lockouts had done little to change the times people start and finish their night.
Venues who had tried to adapt to earlier hours had done so unsuccessfully.
"The lockout has reduced opportunities to visit and revisit different venues, meet different people and enjoy different entertainment at them, and, in combination with the cessation of service at 3am, has reduced the consumption of alcohol in the Precincts," Callinan wrote.

Callinan also recommended the state-wide ban on selling alcohol after 10 p.m. be pushed to 11 p.m., with home deliveries pushed to midnight -- a source of contention for regional politicians.
"The sale of takeaway alcohol, whether before or after 10pm, makes little or no contribution to violence and anti-social behaviour in the Precincts, even less so when it is home delivered," according the report.
