How much training do bouncers receive?īefore they can work as bouncers, NSW applicants are required to complete a training course that takes around 12 days. Licences can be issued for one or five years, and can be suspended or revoked by the commissioner. The police commissioner has the power to refuse to issue licences where applicants have been convicted of certain offences, found guilty with no conviction recorded for certain offences, or found not to be a fit and proper person to hold a licence.

Incidents involving bouncers raise concerns about the level of training they receive, and how the industry is regulated.

In one case, four bouncers were jailed after seriously injuring a patron at The Ivy nightclub in Sydney in 2011. While this incident took place in Melbourne, there have been numerous cases of bouncers in NSW being implicated in deaths and serious assaults. Two of the bouncers involved were previously acquitted of manslaughter in 2012, while a third was found not guilty of assault. However, because the casino had improved its procedures since the incident, the coroner did not make any further recommendations. The coroner also found that the behaviour of the bouncers showed a “wilful disregard for training and procedures.” Mr Dunning became unconscious and was later rushed to hospital and placed on life support, which was turned off four days later.Īt the inquest into Mr Dunning’s death last month, Victorian State Coroner Ian Gray found that he had died of a brain injury following cardiac arrest while being held around the neck for 70 seconds. Mr Dunning was tackled and restrained facedown on the ground for up to four minutes.īouncers used the prone restraint, applying pressure to his neck.

We’re sure this won’t be the end of malware on Android (or any other mobile platform), but it’s a good step in the right direction.An inquest into the death of a man manhandled by bouncers at Crown Casino in Melbourne has given rise to the question of whether or not bouncers have enough training, and whether industry regulations are being adequately enforced.Īnthony Dunning and two of his friends were enjoying a night out at Crown after a day at the footy in July 2011 when a scuffle broke out. How good will Bouncer be? Time will tell. Google also trumpeted other security features of Android, which include judicious use of sand-boxing to prevent malware from accessing data it doesn’t have permission to, the permission system itself, which lets users apply common sense when the “hawt-ladyz” app they are contemplating says it needs permission to send SMS, and the fact that Android is designed so that malware can’t make changes to the OS itself – which means all you have to do to clean an infected phone is remove the offending app. Considering the 250% increase in user activations in 2011, that’s quite a decline. Google reports a 40% decrease in the number of “potentially-malicious” downloads from the market between the first and second half of 2011. And apparently Bouncer is, erm, bouncing a lot of malware successfully.
