Have been searching for a while. Can't find anything relating to Australian security guards.

Security guards and bouncers

That might help.

Will try and find NSW version.

Thanks.
But i really wanted more detail.
More so in regards to pubs and clubs/

In regards to throwing people out and what not?

It's pretty much the same. They can't use "excessive force" as mentioned in the articles. Excessive force is usually decided by juries in civil court cases, I suppose.

More so if they have the right to say ban you from the pokies if your not playing, or taking your ID off you etc etc.

Pokies-yes, it is the clubs property thus they can ban whomever they want.

ID-no

LOL I've always wondered this.

They have little real power.

Check out the movie Mall Cop.

Security guards/bouncers = joke.

basically you're fucked, the clubs always win, and yes they can take an ID if they believe it to be fake. If you argue and then you are being quarrelsome and then they have grounds to refuse you service and eject you anyway.
