In case you missed it, residents of Sydney were given an absolutely primo opportunity to display their stance on the city’s lockout laws a lil’ earlier this arvo.
Notably not on-deck: Premier Mike Baird. Local dance music publication Stoney Roads claims the Premier and architect of the lockout laws left the debate portion of the session early, effectively peacing out on a pretty dang important (if short) discussion of the laws.
Others lamented the Premier’s absence on social media, calling the fact he wasn’t present to watch the petition be presented in the chamber “shameful”.

@mikebairdMP too busy dumping councils to make it to a debate that matters to 10,000+ of your constituents?#shame #nswpol #casinomike

Of course, this whole deal has happened within the framework of the huge inquiry into the efficacy of the laws.
