At Melbas nightclub on the Gold Coast they won’t serve people with hand, neck and facial tattoos. You can, however, front up to the bar wearing a stocking on your head.

Imagine if cops were subject to the same measures. They could be, if the draft proposals being considered by NSW Police Association come into force.
