You're right that there are a couple of odd, basic inaccuracies.
> As if the Australian economy needed further headwinds, the developer-enamoured evangelical right have crucified NSW’s night time economy. Reactionary puritans and opportunists alike seized on some unfortunate incidents involving violence to simply close the economy at night.
In the last couple of years, the only lockout laws I have heard about apply to the CBD of Sydney, and nowhere else. But here, the author conflates the Entertainment district of the CBD with the entire NSW night-time economy.
Perhaps, by the numbers, it's fair enough to conflate those things. But a strongly suspect he's just very wrong.
