【Watch Sweet Sex (2017) Korean Movie】
Over ten thousand disenfranchised residents of Sydney,Watch Sweet Sex (2017) Korean Movie Australia hit the streets Sunday, protesting the New South Wales state government's restrictions on nightlife. And they brought the placard puns en masse.
The huge protest came just two days after anti-lock out law campaigners #KeepSydneyOpen released a report stating that since the introduction of the 1:30 a.m. curfew on entering bars, pubs and clubs in the city, alcohol-fuelled assaults are increasing -- rather than decreasing, as law-makers would hope.

"The lockout laws aren't working. We’ve got to help keep music alive and keep Sydney alive. Let's find a better way to do it," Barnes said in a Facebook video.
The report released by protest organisers was a response to an independent review of state liquor laws, which the government (under Premier Mike Baird) must respond to by the end of 2016. The report suggests violence from Kings Cross and the CBD has been displaced to alternative entertainment precincts further away from restricted areas.

It claims assaults fuelled by alcohol are 30 percent higher across the outer suburbs of Newtown, Bondi, Double Bay and Coogee.
Assaults are also 6 percent higher in the CBD and 9 percent higher across Sydney overall. Their conclusion? Not only are the lock out laws useless, but they're hurting Sydney and its residents.
