Queensland wants operators to apply in advance and prove the whole exercise is in service of watching the football rather than just squeezing a few extra hours of trade out of a Saturday morning. WA, SA, Tasmania, the ACT, and the NT are all offering the same deal on request.
It may seem small in the grand scheme of things, but I think we’re all allowed to enjoy a rare moment of flexibility after years of restrictions for anyone looking for a late-night pint. That’s in Sydney, at least….
