Assessment Event #3
Radio Interview
By Michelle Steel
Underage music fans are being neglected. The all-age gig is becoming a rarity, recently underage fans bought tickets to all age gig Opeth only to be turned away by a last minute decision from the liquor licensing division. Popular music festival Homebake also denied its underage fans by becoming an over 18 only event in 2007. We’re joined by 18 year old regular concert go-er Laura Steel who has attended over 30 concerts since she was 14 to find out where has the all-age gig gone?
• So what’s the best concert you’ve been to?
• You went to a lot of concerts when you were younger and have continued to go to after you turned 18, are underage age concerts declining?
• And what do you think are the reasons for this decline?
• Are under age fans tempted by the availably of alcohol?
• Should concerts be only over 18’s?
• Should they accommodate underage music fans by providing separate show for over 18’s and under 18’s?
• Is the content of concerts suitable for under age goers, on stage they can’t beep out swear words or inappropriate comments between songs
• Do we need more music venues that aren’t just bars and clubs?
• Were you’re parents concerned that you were attending concerts where alcohol was being served when you were under 18?
• So you went to Big Day Out when you were under 18 and over 18, was there a difference?

How many hours have you done?
I’ve done exactly 120 hours
Are you getting driving lesson?
I’ve had two driving lessons but they’re too expensive to get all the time but they’re necessary to know the road rules to pass the test.
Is this a financial strain?
Lessons range between $25 and $100 per lessons which is a lot of money for some people.
Have you been effected by the increase in L-plate hours?
It helped but 120 is too much, it more then doubled and its not practical.
There are plans to increase the mandatory hours to 250. Is a further increase in hours necessary?
No, uni students can be on their L-plates if they really wanted to help they’d put another test between red and green p’s
Is there an alternative to increasing hours?
As well as another test they should have a few compulsory lessons with a driving instructor perhaps subsidised by the government so people aren’t just learning bad habits from their parents.
Are you parents able to take you driving?
I drive to and from places but I have no time specifically to drive, my parents work, I work, I got to school. There’s no time to say yep I’m going driving now.
Why are the laws becoming stricter?
A lot of media attention lately has been about P-plate crashes and everyone seems to be blaming them for deaths on the road so the government wants to look like they’re doing something about it so they’re trying to combat inexperience which is said to be the blame for the crashes.
And are they valid?
I suppose to some degree but people that are good drivers are still going to driver dangerously no matter how much experience they have. And they just make it more difficult for everyone, because no one had the time or money to just drive around with no purpose. And people are always just going to make up their hours.
