Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
The Senator should note that the closing time associated with the special exemption order is not affected if there is a closing time of 11.30 p.m. or 12.30 a.m. The special exemption order applies to premises closing between 2.30 a.m. and 3 a.m., be it on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. Therefore, the changing of the closing time on a Friday or a Saturday will not have any effect whatsoever on a club that stays open until 2.30 a.m. or 3 a.m.
