I live in Sydney, and I just to party in kings cross.

I don't trust that source you gave..it has a "shop" and all four of the bottom links are about getting rid of the lock-out laws.

This looks what op said - a push by those who would profit from it and an attempt to shut up anyone with an alternate view.

Smearing my personal experience as "anecdotes" is something often done by those with an agenda to push.

I remember the violence at the bourbon and beefsteak (i think that was the name) and that huge pub on the corner near what used to be the huge coke sign (not sure if it's still there.)

If you wish to convince me and others, perhaps you better provide better evidence than what appears to be a biased website.

Do you HAVE anything that might be considered objective? I'm willing to change my viewpoint if you do.
