Australian bouncers need more training

I can remember a Leaving Cert student telling me, a first year, how he had been kicked out of a nightclub, where he was brought down a nearby alleyway and given a few slaps by the bouncers.

Indeed there were a couple of stories doing the rounds through my school days and when I first began attending nightclubs myself.

Then the Government licensed bouncers, sent them on training courses and nightclubs and nightlife in general became safer. Now I hear horrifying stories from Australia and I wonder if the youth today are too insolent or the country needs to follow our example.
