Violent thugs could be removed from Perth’s major party precincts this festive season if they cause trouble after Protected Entertainment Precinct laws come into effect on Christmas Eve.

The laws passed parliament in November and give police officers the ability to ban troublemakers in Northbridge, Perth, Fremantle, Scarborough, Hillarys and Mandurah entertainment precincts for up to six months.

Reece Whitby, Racing and Gaming Minister told Jamie Burnett, filling in for Oliver Peterson, that these laws are intended on making these areas safer for people to enjoy especially over the festive season.
