where it belongs the pub. They've revealed plans to eliminate
baffling red tape.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
The red tapes ridiculously.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Just ask poor old Kim who runs the Gray Gums
Cafe up there at Puddy.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
It's actually mental and people.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Who are trying to run pubs that don't have pokeis
in them and don't have all that kind of stuff
of finding it financially. It's so hard.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
This poor publican, he's trying to create a community in
his pub. He's got no pokey, he's got no tab.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
But there's also no music even on a Sunday afternoon
because his development consent doesn't allow entertainment. That's about that
solo duo and acoustic acts.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
It's not about creating a nightclub. It's not about having
big bands.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
In fact, that provision means technically even a mind couldn't perform.
Among other examples, for the Petersham Public House, no amplified
music even quietly in the beer garden Barangaroo House can't

and the South Doubo Tavern could have a small ac

DC cover band, but not the original.

and good.

live music would be wonderful. But say that you're at
home watching Tipping Point, for example, pub next door, and
you hear this, You hear Brendan Jones trying to do

Of courser passes the pub test. Where's the avenues for
the young people to get their music out there these days?
There's no countdown, there's no pubs for them to play in,
there's no venues. You know, we've got to give our
young artists in Australia a chance to get their music
out there.
