#78 - The End of Lockout Laws, Part 1

In our latest Back of House episode (Part 1, because we had far too much to discuss to fit into one episode), we mark the final removal of the last remaining lockout law conditions, and unpack what it took to get here, and what it could unlock next for Sydney’s nighttime economy. Hosts Luke Butler and Michael Rodrigues speak with: • Paul Nicolaou - Executive Director, Business Sydney (former CEO, AHA NSW) • Justine Baker - foundational in building unified industry advocacy • Mick Gibb - CEO, Night Time Industries Association (joining us in Part 2) Part two is coming later this week.
