STEPHENS Legislative Council LIQUOR LICENSING The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (14:35): I have a supplementary question. The thousand employees of the Casino, members of the Misco's union, many of whom finish at 4am: where are they supposed to go for a drink,? The Hon. G.E. GAGO Legislative Council Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Public Sector Management, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises LIQUOR LICENSING The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Public Sector Management, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises) (14:35): I am aware that there are some shift workers who do like to have a drink between those times. I have been a shift worker myself. I have worked night shifts and also evening shifts, so I know what it is like to be a shift worker, but I do not think there was ever an occasion—even in my youngest and most vigorous of party days, and even at the peak of my partying time—that I ever finished a nightshift and actually wanted to go to a pub for a drink. I know that everyone is different and I know that there are some people who enjoy that. These new proposals have been put in place for the general public. They have been put in place to make our streets safer for all South Australians, so it is a measure that has been put in place to improve the safety of all South Australians.
