January doesn't just signal the start of a new year,
it's also when a range of new laws will commence in New South
Wales.
Rollback of lockout laws
For many late-night business operators and socialisers, the
rollback of lock out laws across Sydney, which will come into
effect this month, is cause for celebration.
Controversial
lockout laws were introduced in 2014 after a number of
one-punch assaults, some of which resulted in death.
Sydney teenager Thomas Kelly died after being hit on a night out
in Sydney's Kings Cross in 2012, and Daniel Christie had his
life support was switched off nearly two weeks after being
subjected to a
king hit in the same area on New Year's Eve 2014.
