Why I am NOT across Sydney's Lock Out Laws

So on the weekend Sydney rose up against the Nanny state now known as Sydney. But as a non drinker I find it hard to understand why today's youth needs to be drinking until 8am or later, but on the flip side after walking to a 7am job on the weekend, Sydney is totally dead.

No one doing the walk of shame, no one anywhere, nowhere to get an early morning coffee from, nothing open, a FUCK lot of For Lease signs and more shops/pubs/live music venues closing.

Sydney is a great city but on the brink of becoming a lame and dull city with no nightlife and 0% culture.

As a bogan nation drinking is a must on:

Australia Day
Anzac Day
Easter Holidays
Queen's Birthday Weekend
Labor Day Weekend
Christmas, Boxing Day and New Years Eve/Day

Australia has an alcohol problem yes, but is this the real reason why an entire section of the city is closing? And why Star City is allowed to make millions.

Star City is doing a roaring trade with reports the violence has only shifted from the Cross and the City to Pyrmont and Ultimo.

So the Casino is still making the big bucks and now Premier Baird is know simply as Casino Mike. Australian musicians and venues have joined forces to create Keep Sydney Open. With around 15,000 people going out in the rain, Sydney seems united that we need to stand up to the man.

It makes me sad to think teenagers growing up now will miss out on the fun I had growing up and going out in Sydney, I meet some amazing friends on Sydney's dance floors late in the night, I loved seeing bands late in the night and walking home safely, I now miss music festivals in Summer and wish Australia could have a good time and not get some fucked up that they turn to violence.

It's a shame all (including tourists and visitors to Sydney - who now think Sydney is a lame city that used to be great) Sydney siders now have to be punished when it was a small number of individuals who couldn't play nice just ruin it for all.

Sydney was once great, it is becoming a bit shit and a city that is quickly losing it's identity and it's vibe. Come on Sydney we are better than this. So Daily Telegraph if your here for Sydney, this is the real story not having your columnists defend George Pell or attack the ABC, make Sydney great again.
