450 of 900 submissions on the Liquor Bill from NSW Musicians
If one logs on to the Raise the Bar website it is no surprise to see
that that organisation, which has been active on this subject for many
months, also welcomes the changes.
The package of reforms announced earlier today reflect changing
industry needs and community standards and desires.
The rewrite of the Liquor Act 1982 followed more than 900 submissions
to the 2005 bill, 450 of which related to the issue of live music. And
this bill delivers for live music venues.
