There’s been a lot of press coverage over the months about violence in Brisbane’s CBD – particularly on Friday and Saturday evenings. Hotels, nightclubs and nights out will always be a fact of life – so how do we manage those who cause trouble for everyone else?
What ideas do you think would work in solving violence problems in the city? How would you change strategies that have been tried already? Share your ideas below.

Brisbane doesn’t have a violence problem per se, it has a media beat up problem.
However, violence does exist, and I believe the solution is in giving the venues the right to sue the ARSE off of any perpetrators of violence as well as the usual criminal charges. It results in a loss of revenue and reputation for the venues so they should be able to reap some compensation out of the douchebags that cause it.
Some education on how to find happiness without hitting the bottle might be a solution.
1st comment is spot on, and I would know..
A drunk tank
First comment I agree fully, since the douche-bag types most likely don’t have the funds to fully compensate the venues forced community service. Cooking BBQ’s for local groups, helping remove graffiti, working with services groups (Rotary, Lions etc), that sort of stuff.
Apart from the 1st comment, which is nail on the head, I’d say get more security..
I work security, and there is always a need for more guards..
1 guard cannot physically take on 50-10,000 people at once.
Better police is a MUST.. Too much corruption I’d say.
That’s my opinion, please do not rage. :)
community service,
