ppn liquor licence, page-7

When you read the article in THE AGE, by Ben Butler on 9 May 2011, titled "BAR 20 BAN PLAYS INTO GROLLOS HANDS" you may well wonder who is really running the State of Victoria and the agenda of the Victoria Police.

"......A TRIBUNAL decision last week depriving strip club Showgirls Bar 20 of its liquor licence represents a victory for the Grollo family in a long-running battle over real estate on King Street...."

"...... Rialto half-owners Lorenz and Rino Grollo have long wanted to redevelop the area at the base of the office towers, but have been stymied by the existence of the Bar 20 and Inflation nightclubs, which occupy the only two buildings on the block they do not control......"

"....''To think that a developer wants ..... the whole nightclub strip to go is not community-minded at all. It's full of self-interest.''

"...... The lack of corporate-friendly shopping and dining areas has long been a problem for the Rialto, making it more difficult to attract occupants to replace major tenant Telstra when it leaves the 25-year-old building this year....."

Justice must be seen to be done, but how can there be justice when corporations make financial contributions to political parties in the expectation of favourable outcomes.

Plato discussed the meaning of "Justice" & "Might is Right" in "The Republic". In the modern world, Plato might define "Justice" as whatever the rich and powerful decide to dish out to their victims through their control of Governments.

Even if PPN has to open a brothel in the BAR20 building, Grollo must not get his hands on it unless of course he is willing to pay a premium to cover the value of the land and the strip club business. Everything has a price.
