Sounds good to me

But I didn't get to watch it. Why did they want to help with large scale raves anyway? For the money that could be involved in terms of tourism etc (sounds better to be the city of raves rather than the city of churches, no offense to church goers) or to help control illegal activities? Or both?

Drug expert David Caldicott says it is a potential moneyspinner for the state and the government should get behind it.

Shadow Attorney-General Isobel Redmond says the idea has merit.

"We shouldn't dismiss it out of hand," Ms Redmond said.

"If it's an event that's growing, we've got a young population that's really keen on it, then, if it can be grown into something that becomes a major focus for Adelaide, then good on them."

Good stuff.

I think the problem here is they dont realise 90% of the ravers aren't young at all...

they dont have to be young by ur standards, what they mean here is the 16-30 years age group!! and i can tell ya now, the people spending the money are in the upper age-bracket, the young professionals as well as the teenagers out on the town.

Sorry - old topic, but just thought I'd add my 2c.

Didn't see the article/news, but did hear about it - and plenty of people saying about us being this 'rave capital' or something. Can I have that on my number plate "The Rave State - PLUR 01"

I have to laugh when the government is all for shutting down places where drugs are allegedly sold/made/bought/snorted... yet they're all behind such festivals as the BDO and Future Music at the Fringe etc etc... Why is this..?

I guess this is cos they don't come under the 'rave' heading.

Someone, please explain then, the difference between a rave and a dance festival and why one word makes such a difference to backing by the media and the government..?

(and I completely agree with Anna here, most of the time you'll find the 'young' people out 'supporting' these events are the ones with the money... not 'young' 16 year olds, but those with jobs and their weekends free).
