that it was a matter of decorum, that the ABC would no longer harrass bars simply because of their patronage. The chairman banged the gavel and the debate was over.

'IT'S THE LAW!!

An hysterically funny skit was put on which pantomimod what could happen if the "obiter dicta" was enforced scrupulously on both heterosexual and homosexual bars:
