The Empress Hotel (whose live gigs have recently been partly shut down by noise complaints from yuppies) has set up a web page about the situation. This includes a petition you can fill out and send in (Victorian residents only) to put some pressure on the government to institute fairer licensing laws.

Thanks very much for that link. I will be forwarding the petition to as many Melbourne music lovers as possible.
