Are the lockout laws working?

Are we saving lives but sacrificing jobs?

Can Sydney be a vibrant international tourist destination if our streets aren't safe?

Are we all being made to pay for a few people's mistakes?

Now, with Queensland about to adopt similar legislation, the controversy is bound to spread even further.

I lead a panel bringing the key players of this contentious issue. Doctors, protestors, politicans, and local residents will hammer out the issues face to face in front of an audience at a Kings Cross pub.
