English subtitles for clip: File:Six o' clock closing ABC.ogv

1
00:00:03,036 --> 00:00:08,908
At last, 6 o'clock closing has been
pushed into obscurity in Australia.

2
00:00:08,908 --> 00:00:14,768
Tonight, South Australia joins all other
states in abandoning the 6 o'clock swill.

3
00:00:14,768 --> 00:00:18,788
Tonight, the bar doors are open.
Tonight, Adelaide loses its

4
00:00:18,814 --> 00:00:22,833
perhaps unfortunate reputation
inter-state as a 'wowser city'.

5
00:00:22,858 --> 00:00:27,075
Tonight the bars are crowded, but
there was some doubt until just a

6
00:00:27,101 --> 00:00:31,255
few days ago that the new licensing
laws would come in on schedule.

7
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,111
The Liquor Licensing Bill was
only passed by Parliament

8
00:00:35,137 --> 00:00:39,104
last Tuesday, some 6 months
after it was first introduced,

9
00:00:39,129 --> 00:00:44,163
and it wasn't until earlier today that
the legislation itself was proclaimed.

10
00:00:44,188 --> 00:00:47,719
But the new era in South
Australian drinking has

11
00:00:47,745 --> 00:00:51,177
begun, and both public,
and publican, are happy.

12
00:00:51,202 --> 00:00:54,162
—Ah yeah, it's very good I think.

13
00:00:56,706 --> 00:01:05,132
I think the first couple of weeks it'll be
a novelty, but I think it'll work itself out.

14
00:01:05,138 --> 00:01:07,938
I think it's quite a good thing.

15
00:01:08,426 --> 00:01:10,607
I think it's a beautiful
thing, sir.

16
00:01:11,740 --> 00:01:14,020
Do you think you'll be spending
more time in hotels?

17
00:01:14,026 --> 00:01:19,531
Not really, but at least you
got it, when you want it.

18
00:01:20,502 --> 00:01:25,200
It's alright for some people,
I suppose, but I really

19
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,014
think if I'd gone to the vote, I
wouldn't have voted for it.

20
00:01:28,039 --> 00:01:31,880
Why?
I think a lot of homes will suffer.

21
00:01:31,905 --> 00:01:33,593
In what way?

22
00:01:33,619 --> 00:01:38,736
Little kiddies are left, and men
like getting whassname I think it-

23
00:01:38,736 --> 00:01:43,949
-it will break up a lot of homes. 
If I'd been to the vote, I wouldn't have voted for it.


24
00:01:43,974 --> 00:01:47,100
As a publican, are you
happy with the new hours?

25
00:01:47,125 --> 00:01:50,438
When you're in the trade
you've gotta give it a go

26
00:01:50,464 --> 00:01:53,638
haven't you? How it's
gonna go, I dunno.

27
00:01:53,663 --> 00:01:57,954
Do you think you'll do more business?
I think it would increase a bit, yes.

28
00:01:57,979 --> 00:02:04,310
Has it gone tonight as you've expected it?
Yes, I think it's been alright.

29
00:02:04,335 --> 00:02:08,536
Do you think it'll maintain this?
Well, I'm hoping so...

30
00:02:08,561 --> 00:02:14,762
The usual 5 till 6 rush
wasn't there tonight, but it

31
00:02:14,762 --> 00:02:21,195
picked up about 7:30. It's
been fairly good since then.
