Lockout law war rages on in Qld

Debate about controversial lockout laws for Queensland's pubs and clubs is expected to rage on ahead of a parliamentary report.

Labor has renewed its campaign for lockout laws, which will make most venues serve last drinks at 2am, following Brisbane teen Cole Miller's death on Monday from an apparent one-punch attack.

But Acting Opposition Leader John-Paul Langbroek has said if the government is serious about stamping out violence it should develop a comprehensive plan like the former Liberal National Party government's 60-point Safe Night Out Strategy.

That plan featured tougher penalties for drunken offenders and more police on streets.

Debate is expected to continue on the hotly contested issue ahead of a report from the parliamentary legal affairs and community safety committee, due on February 8.
