Lockout laws have got to be one of the dumbest fucking things that could be implemented. Saddest part is that these cunts don't even realise that their freedom is being taken away for the sole fact that they choose not to exercise their freedom. It's seriously along the lines of those dickheads that say "I don't care if gays can get married or not because I'm not a gay" or "I don't care if women can get abortions or not because I'm not a woman or married to one".Wake up to yourselves.
I'd rather somebody admit they don't give a shit about a trending talking point than express a view they don't truly hold for fear of being screamed down as a bigot/racist/homophobe/ misogynist etc etc. Not everybody cares about whether the school mascot is a giant douche or a turd sandwich. Just because you care deeply about an issue doesn't mean that everybody else has to.
On saying that, I think these lockout laws are a joke and reek of property developers and James Packer giving golden handshakes to Baird. It's a damn shame that my home city, the city I was born in, has come to exemplify the worst aspects of this country as a whole. I feel personally like this isn't just a problem with Sydney, but a problem with Australia as a whole- whether it's because we have a relatively small population or we're such a young nation (in regards to colonial history) it seems we're more prone than most to introducing reactionary, bandaid laws and regulations because of the 0.0001 percent of people in this country who are irresponsible fuckwits and media hysteria. I'm eligible for an English passport and it's shit like this that makes me consider moving abroad, just so I can live in a country where I'm treated like a responsible adult.
But just because people like you and I care about this, doesn't mean that I think everybody else should feel passionate about it and agree with me or else incur my wrath...
