Other venues in problematic entertainment districts should learn from an incident involving The Mean Fiddler Hotel in New South Wales. The hotel’s pub, which has long been identified as the most violent in the state, had a new licencing requirement imposed on it by the states liquor authorities after police submitted reports to authorities of violence at the venue on several occasions.
 

In addition the venue management had failed to secure the scene following the crimes and did not notify police immediately as they were supposed to do.  Other venues can learn from this incident, so as not to repeat the breaches carried out at The Mean Fiddler Hotel unless they wish to be met with the same licencing restrictions.
 

This post on TheShout.com.au highlights the incident:
 

In July, the OLGR escalated the undertaking to a mandatory condition in the pub’s licence, which if breached carries a maximum penalty of $11,000 and/or imprisonment of 12 months.
 

The pub’s owner, Drinx Pty Ltd, sought review of the decision by the Independent Liquor & Gaming Authority (ILGA), arguing that its procedures in relation to notification of police had been improved since the incidents in question and were now working effectively.
 

The pub argued that the police had sought the imposition of the condition by reason that the hotel is one of the most violent premises in New South Wales, “but that is no longer the case”.
 

They argued that the pub receives about 500,000 visits per annum, yet there were only 18 reported assault incidents on the premises in the past year, notwithstanding this very large patronage.
