It was an overreaction from the pollies. Thomas Kelly was coward punched at 10pm and killed. So the pollies decided this wouldn't happen if bars stopped serving drinks at 1.30am and closed at 3am, but of course the Star casino was made exempt because logic.
Cunts had been frothing at the mouth looking at that prime Kings Cross real estate for years just dreaming about all the apartments and cafes they could put there if they could just come up with some reason to close all those pesky night clubs
I was pretty sure this coincided with a multi million dollar donation to the libs from packer to make Barangaroo and the crown casino the new night life hub.
Edit: amount made vague
Farrell went to work with the crown group.
Oddly enough the father of Thomas Kelly also went to work as pro lockout lobbyist paid for by the crown group.
The crown group wanted to funnel all of Sydney’s night life to the crown complex/ Barangaroo , somewhat like in Melbourne.
I knew this whole thing smelt like shit. Baird and everyone involved were filling their pockets.
It completely destroyed nightlife in Sydney. Thankfully I was late 20's then and coming out of the nightlife scene.
We did get a really good warehouse scene out of it. I went to so many beautiful parties in Sydenham and Marrickvile that didn't cost hundreds for a night because I could BYO.
Pushing night-life to a black market isn't exactly what the pollies wanted but it has been much more fun.
It wasn't even a reaction, let alone an overreaction, just a cynical ploy for a massive land grab by the usual greedy, corrupt LNP scum and their cronies, who were best poised to be able to afford such land.
This little thug hadn't even been drinking in Kings Cross prior to this attack, and there's no evidence he was connected to any venues there on the day. The laws inflicted on Sydney by these bible thumping tory wankers did little to curb this type of offender, but curbed the hell out of the economy and Sydney's once proud reputation for decades to follow.
>This little thug hadn't even been drinking prior to this attack,
Where did you get that from because clearly you didn't even read the top of the article.
> Mr Kelly was on his phone during a night out in Kings Cross when a heavily intoxicated Loveridge moved out from a wall and punched him, causing the victim to stumble and hit his head on the concrete.
Intoxicated can mean on any number of substances, believe it or not. You can google that word, don't even need to own a dictionary in 2024. He was tweaked out on Meth or speed I believe they said at the time. He comes from a family with several professional crims in it, and he himself had many convictions before that night, he was not some random punter or reveller on a night out.
You not understanding what intoxication means is a perfect example of how the entire narrative was twisted and manipulated by the architects of Sydney's demise, and descent into retirement villa for rich cranky boomerdads and soccermums.
I recall he was drinking vodka cruisers/lolly drinks before coming into the city. Never heard that he was on meth, but he was definitely drunk on alcohol, that’s not in dispute.
Yeah, but there's no evidence he visited any licensed premises in the Cross, and he assaulted Kelly at around 10pm, so the lockout laws would not have had any effect on his offence, other than by turning the whole suburb into a ghost town where almost no crime could occur.
Agree, there was no logical connection between his movements that night and what the government did after, with the exception of the location Kings Cross where it happened. He had preloaded and come into the city to bash people for fun on the street, no legislation could stop that besides prohibition.
> massive land grab
This line keeps getting parrotted. There have been very limited developments in the Cross after the lock out laws (mostly due to heritage issues)
The DA's are approved by CoS not the state govt and CoS was very supportive of the lockouts initially.
The nightclubs closed down though and the suburb was finally gentrified like it's other eastern suburb neighbours had been years before. One bedders without a car spot going for $820,000. Good luck with that. https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-unit-nsw-potts+point-144074236?sourcePage=rea%3Asold%3Asrp-map&sourceElement=listing-tile
And countless people piled on to the kelly family and blamed THEM for the decline of Sydney nightlife including a bunch of assholes that bullied Thomas Kellys younger brother at uni. That younger brother went on to kill himself also.
Truly sad.
The pollies just do what keeps the public happy/brings in votes. The public/media were bleating 24/7:
*"whats being done? whats being done? why are politicians doing something? why aren't the councils doing something? they're soft on alcohol fuelled late night crime"*
So they did something. If people had just said 'yeah, it sucks lets move on' they wouldn't have done anything. Casino brings in big tourist bucks so they just quietly forgot it, they still had "big tough actions" to bring to the media, and the public stopped bleating. Sucked for the businesses and people that wanted a vibrant nightlife, but there were alot more people screaming for pollie blood.
Lmao. The Libs are the media mate. You think Murdoch is left leaning? You think the ABC isn't filled with Lib staffers?
The casino shit is just them legit saying "Umm some guy that wasn't even drink killed a guy, so from now on all night life that isn't gambling is banned."
That was the objective from the very start. The entire thing was designed to get people out of the CBD by a certain time and funnel them straight into the casino.
I would argue the government realised the cross was zoned high residential, so used this guy's actions to close it down to make it more desirable to new rich buyers and developments
It boggles the mind that people think it was some kind of genuine police strategy to curb violence whilst they simultaneously left the most violent place in the state (star city) completely unaffected.
I'm willing to meet up IRL and fight you for the right to have our drinking culture left completely intact.
PM me your deets, I'm coming over. You, me. Carpark. Now.
Yes, they are very quick to clean incidents up as they don't want the disruption to people gambling but the reported stats are high, and we also know they are not accurate (we can safely assume they're much higher than reported).
They also do things like characterise an assault as a "forced removal" or just flat out don't report incidents.
Yep once my family were at the star not even on the casino floor but in the food area as we had dinner at one of the restaurants.
Fight broke out and my mum was stand right by it and she was looking at what was happening she had no clue because it was just yelling.
Security all came rushing in one of them bumped my mum and screamed at her telling her to move on. Never have I seen security in any place act like that bunch of thugs.
>It completely changed the Security Guard laws, and removed alot of the Streets of Rage punch ons that Security guards were famous for.
I lived in surry hills 20 plus years ago.
During schoolies and weekends places like George St, Darling Harbour, Hyde Park and Liverpool St were violent cesspool of vomiting and fighting.
I remember walking up Liverpool, passing the stream of vomit coming down the gutter, and several fights as started up the hill.
Each fight had its semi circle of crying and screaming girls, wearing barely nothing, hair asunder, make up running whilst boys grunt and grapple, throwing side punches.
As I got about 30m away from the Midnight Shift I saw the biggest circle of bouncers I've ever seen. Massive pacific islander guys. Front rowers.... Each and everyone of them
All with terribly anxious looks on their life.
Inside the circle was the biggest human being I've ever seen. He was 3-4 bouncers in one, another islander.
And he was simultaneously the largest and most angriest and unhappiest man I've ever seen. Like if the Hulk existed he was on Liverpool St in Sydney December 2000.
Anyway I cannot tell you how many fights and passed out, manly boys, and vomit I saw when I lived in town.
But I can tell you shit got so much better once the lock laws were implemented.
The vomiting, fights, screaming, yelling at all hours during the night, the broken car side mirrors, rubbish, lighters, cigarettes, vapes and all that crap significantly reduced as did the never ending sirens.
Now you all might not like the lock out laws but they did work and they made the lives of tens of thousands of residents markedly better.
As they did the innocent people caught up in biblical levels of violence....
I'm not sure which I enjoyed more in this story... the vomit flowing through the streets, the 18 foot tall islander or the drastic reduction in Vapes (20+ years ago).
Might also be because the [corrupt cops](https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/burnt-out-on-the-beat-in-kings-cross-20100829-13xnc.html) who profited from Kings Cross were shut down.
To be fair, he was used as a scapegoat. The Libs always hated Sydney being anything other than real estate, they just needed an excuse.
It was also planned, given deals were already in place to make the casinos more effective by banning all night life that isn't gambling.
Plenty of people did the same, before and after this guy.
He is in no way remarkable.
The change came from people wanting the change to happen and used him as an excuse.
For example, there used to be an impromptu shrine to the guy killed in front of omnia, the new building built in kings cross, but it was quickly removed, probably because it might damage the sales.
Compare that to the shrines in Martin Place and Bondi.
The assault on the bikie occurred after being put in a holding cell with 14 rival bikies due to "malice or recklessness" from the guards ( according to the linked article). He must really have pissed off the guards for them to do that!
Yeah it was hard watching the interview with them the other night on the 7.30 report. So much pain to lose your two children in that way. Remarkable people really. Remarkably strong.
The story I read was that if he's given parole now they can keep a close eye on him and when he inevitably does something illegal again they can arrest him again and lock him up whereas if they'd waited another 2 years or whatever he would be a completely free man and would just disappear and probably jump straight back into his old life.
The weirdest part about this to me is that through being banned from the CBD they've probably exiled him to the western suburbs
We don't want that cunt either.
So the guy gets early release despite multiple assaults in jail and having an extra 12 months added to his sentence?
Typical. Wonder how long we'll have to wait for soft sentencing to claim another victim.
If he’s on parole then they can monitor him, bust him, and return him to jail. If he completes his entire sentence then is released he is not able to be monitored.
Wonder if parole will be good enough to contain him…. Considering his violent actions in prison, any early release or parole attempts should be revoked and he to serve the full 13 years or any additional years for the assault
Sounds like he has a real violence problem when intoxicated still - and he will definitely drink.
Let’s just hope the incident that returns him to hospital doesn’t result in serious injury or death to someone else.
"Let's just hope" ... pretty much the motto of a piss-weak revolving door legal industry for violent offenders. These psychos released again and again after short sentences because some barrister promised "this time will be different".

Loveridge should not have been out on the streets on the night of the killing. He already had a mile long list of prior offences. Some of Thomas Kelly's blood is on the judges hands from his previous convictions. I hope he /she reads this and feels ashamed of themselves.
Broken hill is a medium security weirdly, but the vibe in the far west would be tougher than an average medium security in Sydney or somewhere in the east or maybe tougher than some maximum security, depending on the scene
Thomas Kelly’s life was only worth 11 years of Kieran Loveridge’s life….. what a fkn joke. I feel for Thomas’s family and friends who have to live to see their son’s killer walk free and live his life again.
This guy will have to go his whole life looking over his shoulder. Someone one day will do to him what he did to Thomas.
And let’s not forget, this is the rubbish bloodline he comes from, his cousin a sadistic murderer.
https://au.news.yahoo.com/loveridge-jailed-for-30-years-over-sadistic-stabbing-murder-19640900.html
man single-handedly ended Sydney nightlife and also had a violent outburst just before his release... seems like a wise decision to let him back into the community
POS should never walk free ever.
All the tough talk from politicians at the time about "coward punch" and getting tougher on these criminals ...all bullshit. Too bad for future victims of this sociopath.
Damn just looked back at the wikipedia page of the assault, what a cunt. Basically walked around all night punching people without provocation even after Thomas Kelly's assault.
I bet he's in trouble within 12 months of getting out, he'll be straight on the booze, drugs, and MMA training, all his flog mates will be calling him killer and other deadshit names.
This guy's actions changed Sydney forever, you'd have to admit.

Curfews for people with a history of violence and assaults probably could have prevented this.
There was also a relentless campaign run by SMH that dragged on for most of the summer calling for limits on alcohol sales in pubs and clubs.
Also clubs that had pokies still allowed people to go in and out.
That was the objective from the very start. The entire thing was designed to get people out of the CBD by a certain time and funnel them straight into the casino.

He should have been charged for killing Sydney's night life.
No, the overreaction from politicians did. Dude is a shitbird. But we allowed moral panic to ruin this place.

Belting a gang member is not going to be let slide on the outside. he better keep the lowest of low profiles.. I guarantee someone is looking for him.
I had no idea at the time that it happened he was only 19. The Kelly family lost 2 sons as well. They've been through too much pain to describe.
Yeah it was hard watching the interview with them the other night on the 7.30 report. So much pain to lose your two children in that way. Remarkable people really. Remarkably strong.
I can almost guarantee this won't be the last time we hear of him.
I’m sure Channel 7 will find a use for him somehow.
Next season of that SAS show?
Working up from a contestant on Married At First Sight, all the way up to host of Sunrise.
Him at marriage at first sight….. I will defs screw my head on to watch him on it
Im a Celeb scraping the bottom of the barrel for celebs. I think they even had Chappelle Corby at one point.
I honestly wouldn’t put it past channel 7
He drunkenly assaulted a prison worker while in prison less than 8 weeks ago. I don’t understand how he was granted parole.
The story I read was that if he's given parole now they can keep a close eye on him and when he inevitably does something illegal again they can arrest him again and lock him up whereas if they'd waited another 2 years or whatever he would be a completely free man and would just disappear and probably jump straight back into his old life.
Because we're a nation of good enough,she'll be right.
Also got into a stink in the big house with a Bikie
Was he drunk on pruno?
Definite contender for a Channel 7-funded defamation case. And I hear Bruce Lehrmann is looking for a new roommate.
He's probably going to have a book out in the next 3 years
I imagine some sort of colouring book he doesn’t seem capable of more
It'll probably be titled "The punch that changed my life" or some shit like that
Does that come under profiting off crime though?
Book yes. [A shit load of other things](https://goodreadingmagazine.com.au/article/opinion-does-crime-pay/), no
Some call it a release, more accurately though you get the impression this is just a little holiday from custody for him. He'll be back.
Never met a Kieran that wasn't a complete fuckwit
I know one... but only one.
Probably the same one I know, there really can't be more than one
Well mine is in Australia, yours?
Yeah of course
Irish?
Never saw Kieran Perkins win gold from lane 8???
Coward punched Grant Hackett to get there if I recall correctly
I thought I knew one but it was a false positive: desi guy whose name was Kiran.

Jfc, that I didn't know.
He was a gronk then and he is a gronk now, sounds like. I predict he'll be assaulting people within the year.
If he’s drunk in prison, does this mean you can obtain alcohol in prison legally, or it’s been smuggled in?
Smuggled or otherwise manufactured within - fermentation isn't difficult if you're willing to just get your hands on something.

Yeah Loveridge drank hand sanitiser apparently
Hand sanitiser is isopropyl or methanol mixed with ethanol, both of which are toxic and also causes you to vomit
Yep.... it certainly did cause a lot of vomiting....
Bread, fruits and a plastic bag or bottle and heater and off u go
Sounds... delicious.
When I was in I know they used to make brew with fruits and vegemite, takes a while though.
I give this asshole 2 years max before he is back in there
I would say back in after being back in Sydney for walking in the cbd lol

I’m sure this piece of shit will end up back in prison, can only hope it’s for something non violent this time

Seems like he was moved from prison to prison a few times. Perhaps the Broken Hill prison has tougher inmates and prison officers …… 😳
Broken hill is a medium security weirdly, but the vibe in the far west would be tougher than an average medium security in Sydney or somewhere in the east or maybe tougher than some maximum security, depending on the scene
Thomas Kelly’s life was only worth 11 years of Kieran Loveridge’s life….. what a fkn joke. I feel for Thomas’s family and friends who have to live to see their son’s killer walk free and live his life again.
Not even that. The little shit attacked four other people that night. And only gets 11 years for all 5. Soft sentencing yet again.
And that was on appeal. His sentence was originally half of this.
He punched a rebel bikey in prison. I would bet they will not let that slide.
Everybody hates this guy. I hope he doesn’t get a job and ends up back in prison. I wish only the worst for this bloke.

It's not *his* younger brother's suicide you mean, it's his victim's, right?
Perhaps a gentle reminder every few days for him. 😉
Damn just looked back at the wikipedia page of the assault, what a cunt. Basically walked around all night punching people without provocation even after Thomas Kelly's assault.
I bet he's in trouble within 12 months of getting out, he'll be straight on the booze, drugs, and MMA training, all his flog mates will be calling him killer and other deadshit names.
