Vomiting Not On In QLD!

[icyfroth]

Partygoers vomiting in the streets are the newest targets in the Queensland government's crackdown on drunken behaviour.

Premier Campbell Newman has revealed plans for a new code of conduct that will mean patrons of Queensland pubs and clubs will be urged not to fight, be public nuisances or vomit during a night out, The Courier-Mailreports.

Speaking from New York, Mr Newman told the newspaper the codes would be aimed at stamping out the state's "drug and alcohol-fuelled violence" culture.

"If you're going to deal with alcohol and drug-fuelled violence, it's not just about police and penalties," Mr Newman said. "It's actually got to be about changing the culture".

Mr Newman said he hoped the codes would help change the culture of drunken behaviour and violence.

"The ultimate code of conduct is this: go out, have a great night out in Brisbane or any city or town. Have a whale of a time but just understand that the test is your behaviour mustn't impact on other people's enjoyment of that night-life scene as well," he said.

"It's not just about swinging a punch at someone, it's about making the middle-aged couple with their kids who are trying to have a night out in the CBD uncomfortable because people are running wild."

The codes will urge patrons to conduct themselves in an orderly manner while enjoying a night out by not vomiting, fighting or being a public nuisance.

A draft of the codes of conduct will be released for comment as part of a package to be announced later this month.

Quite right too. People vomiting in the streets while you're having a nice al fresco coffee or meal is just gross. Throwing up in taxis is disgusting too.

yes there is some pretty disgusting behaviour going on in QLD, most of it coming from Newman and the LNP.

but isnt it about Newman and his style of do as I say or get  locked up for a 100 years, is that not political and telling the people what he thinks they want to hear, just because he is a little touched still makes it political

Just lean all the way forward when you puke or you could be charged with wearing colours.

How are they going to stop being sick when they are sick? If Newman has a cure for this he is in the wrong business.
