The "2am Lockout" was the name of an initiative set up by the Victorian Labor Government to curb alcohol-related violence in Melbourne. The three-month trial period began on 2 June 2008 and lasted until 2 September of that year. The lockout prohibited patrons from entering pubs, bars and nightclubs after 2am in designated areas which included the council areas of Port Phillip, Stonnington, Melbourne (including the Docklands) and Yarra. Licensees who breached the lockout could be fined a maximum of $6899. Of the 457 premises that were originally planned to be bound by the lockout, 115 were granted exemption by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. The lockout was not continued following the end of the trial period. In 2005, a 3am lockout trial in Queensland was introduced with similar provisions and presently a similar lockout is being proposed in Adelaide. ==Background== The 2am lockout was announced on 2 May by Premier John Brumby. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2am Lockout」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
