News : Queensland Locked Out – protest to be held on Thursday 11th March

By on March 8, 2010

QueenslandLockedOut.com is a citizen’s lobby group formed by the public in protest against the new proposal of the lockout/shutdown policy. We are the patrons reclaiming our nightlife. We believe the lockout is overlegislation and a short term political fix to the problem of alcohol violence. It is the result of a failure to adequately plan for growth in population and demands for inner-city public spaces.

What we are doing?

We are calling on public and media scrutiny of the proposed policy demanding a viable, reasoned and long-term solution to the issues of violence. We are pressuring the government into backing down over the curfew. We are reclaiming our nightlife and saying “shutdown the lockdown”.

Get Involved!

DATE: Thursday 11th March, 2010
TIME: 4pm onwards
LOCATION: Outside Parliment House
ADDRESS: George Street, Brisbane

  • This event is a peaceful protest. Families are welcome and encouraged to join the protest.
  • STRICTLY NO DRUGS OR ALCOHOL – It’s illegal to drink in the street and more importantly, we are to show the broader community that WE ARE NOT HIGH RISK.
  • Bring your own water, sunscreen and hat.
  • Protest with your your favourite local bands and DJs, your fellow clubbers and music lovers, your friends and families, your co-workers and class mates.
