Liquor License Freeze

Melbourne's world class restaurant and pub scene will stay as is at least for the next couple of years as competition will be halted as a result of Liquor Licensing Victoria freeze on new applications. With the recent and dare say, continuing violence culminating in last weekend's bashing of a police officer, Melbourne has been placed in the spotlight. We all enjoy our alcohol and without being too forward, a constant state of alcohol fuelled individuals will only lead to mass hysteria and ultimately an ever increasing violent aspect to our city. And yes - to shake ones head at such thuggery seems reasonable, I know that I will be one of many people who will appreciate the wonders of wine, beer and single malt whiskies (that's for me) among other beverages tonight in the confines of a relaxed environment...an environment that Melbourne seems to lack at the moment.
