I support this petition and I believe this reform is long overdue. It is vitally important for the future of live music in NSW, and Sydney in particular! Other states run their licencing effectively without discriminating against those establishments that wish to put on live music and employ musicians. In NSW it's ridiculous that a pub with 100 patrons watching State of Origin football is not required to have an entertainment permit, while another with 10 people listening to a pianist - must! Sydney's jazz musicians need to be 'showcased' - from the smallest cafe to the largest pub - they need to be 'seen and heard'! The current laws are outdated in what should be a vibrant city! It's not just a cultural disaster - tourist dollars are being lost too!
