Running your own business can at times be difficult. Sometimes I can get very tired working every weekend but that’s when our celebrations are. Last Friday night’s party went very well, 160 teenagers, managed alcohol with fantastic parental support. We had a couple of issues with some unwanted guests however the Police were very…
Assigned security staff to a wedding last weekend. Everyone happy and having great time. Alcohol is managed however some issues at the front door of the venue. I could see my staff member indicating to me to observe 3 girls that were talking, one crying. I walk over and observe 3 women, one girls is…
Over the last 4 weeks I have spoken to victims that have been allegedly assaulted by intoxicated patrons or ‘punch happy’ bouncers. You and me, have the right to feel safe when we go out to a Hotel, Bar or Venue. We expect that the bar staff are providing Responsible Serving of Alcohol and…
I read the article about the alleged rape of a teenager at a party in the western suburbs. I wonder how many SOBER parent helpers were assisting at this particular event.

I have been campaigning for many years for Safe Event Laws. Part of my submission was to create an offence for gatecrashing or attempted gatecrashing. At this stage most states within Australia do not have an offence for gatecrashing. Unless we create a deterrent for this annoying behaviour these teenagers will continue to crash parties…
This is very sad !! Part of a party plan is advising hosts of transport options. Walking home with a mate on a well lit street use to be an option. It would seem like these days you can no longer walk home without trouble Thoughts are with Brock and his family The start of…
Recently I was contacted by a parent planning her son’s 18th birthday. After I had relayed to her the importance of security and alcohol management she replied….”Their nearly adults. They will be fine with the alcohol!!” Really!! Needless to say I did not assign staff because I knew that my staff would be used as…
In addition to assisting with the epidemic of STI’s amongst young people this app will create chaos within our community. When Charles Stewart has teenagers of his own attending parties then maybe he will understand the words ‘being responsible’. I have an idea, members of our community should start sending Mr Stewart the bill for…
