TOWNSVILLE City Council is annoyed at the lack of time given to process and advise on liquor licensing, adult entertainment and gaming permit applications after being made to "rush through" advice about a Ms Nude Striptease Competition in Townsville.
Councillor Jenny Hill said the council had received a request through Liquor Licensing asking whether the council objected to a "Ms Nude" contest at The Bank nightclub last night.
"Staff were given less than five days to make a comment," Cr Hill said.
"We had difficulty getting information regarding who was going to take part in the competition, whether they would coax women from the floor to be in the competition or use professional girls.
"We found they would be using a professional troupe."
A group called "Bombshells", a professional striptease agency from Sydney, ran the competition, billed as the "North Queensland State Final 2004".
