.Four councillors had voted to scrap the law entirely and another four voted in favour of the two-year extension.“I’m overwhelmed by the decision we have to make tonight. It’s not something I vote for joyfully or willingly,” Mayor Bosler said.Credit:The bylaw that bans drinking alcohol in public, with the exception of 121 designated areas, was set to expire on October 19.
However, Inspector Ann Rudd, speaking for Victoria Police, said the bylaw was an important tool for police, who used it on a daily basis. Inspector Rudd said if the law was scrapped, crimes associated with anti-social behaviour would rise. Social worker Teddy Chessels talked passionately about how a “simple drinking charge” under the local law could lead to more serious criminal charges for Aboriginal people.
Because people can't control themselves, because they become violent, public drinking should be outlawed everywhere. The streets would be safer for the general public.
And YarraCouncil goes full racist springst racism
This should be state laws made for all councils to follow. Councils run their own race and there is no consistency in bloody Victoria!! Stupid
So all the public bars have closed in both, Collingwood and Fitzroy. A hotel is a public place after all
While druggies shoot up and police look on......
Pretty racist to assume only non-whites drink and then cause disturbance in public
So no one who lives in Collingwood or Footscray can drink in public anywhere ?
I am puzzled how is banning public drinking racist Or can all colours and race of people drink in public except indigenous?
“The council had already assembled an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander advisory board and their advice had been ignored... I find it problematic that we don’t listen to those important voices” YarraCouncil DanielAndrewsMP how can we want Treaty but ignore the advice?
But will NEVER admit, black fellas can't handle their piss. Ask, anyone. TheTruth

UN calls for medevac laws to stay | Sky News AustraliaThe UN’s High Commissioner for Human Rights has called on politicians to take a stance against the Federal Government’s push to repeal the so-called medevac laws.\n\nHuman Rights high commissioner Michelle Bachelet said on Tuesday she is “concerned that the plans to repeal this law may mean more and costly court battles, with lives being put at risk.”\n\n'I appeal to members of parliament not to reverse these small steps of progress that have been made,' she said. \n\nA proposal to repeal the legislation, which passed in the last term of parliament, would put an end to the practice of relocating sick asylum seekers and refugees held in offshore detention camps to Australia.\n\nThe Coalition has argued the bill has emboldened people smugglers and undermined Australia's border security.\n The United Nations has an agenda to usher in a Totalitarian OneWorldGovernment as part of the luciferian NewWorldOrder. We as a country need to do the opposite of whatever the evil and corrupt UN want us to do. UNExit They dont like brown people. Simple.
