Your employment contract or a related document you've executed may include a post-employment restraint/non-compete. These vary a lot by level of the position and type of work. They are difficult/expensive to enforce and are open to interpretation about "reasonableness". These are generally the former employer's best means to prevent you from immediately reproducing something. However they also can't prevent you from working in your profession and using what you've learned as a professional.

I lived there at the time the lockout was introduced.
There was a small number of alcohol-fuelled fights that resulted in the deaths of some young men by head trauma (punched or falling). They were very prominent. I'm not sure if there was really increasing trend in violence, but perception in the media was that of a crisis (as they do). The government reacted with little planning (as they do).
For example, the "one punch" law was introduced to discourage people from punching others in the head. It seems ridiculous we needed a specific law for that [1].
The people that like a drink to socialise but aren't inclined to punch others go to new venues outside the lockout zone now. That brings another set of implications.
