Australia considers banning pool cues from bars

§ January 29th, 2010 § Filed under News § Tagged , , Comments Off

A year after the State Government in Queensland, Australia banned glasses in some pubs, there’s a movement afoot to eliminate pool cues as well.

According to a local news source, the devices have become drunken patron’s “weapon of choice” when attacking paramedics.

Um, what?

Kroy Day (real name!), a member of the Liquor Hospitality and Miscellaneous Workers Union, found that 94 percent of the 142 medical workers he surveyed say they have been attacked at some point in the past five years while on the job. That would be significantly higher than the percentage of beer bloggers that report being assaulted.
