Cafes, restaurants could be first to reopen as restrictions ease | Sky News Australia

National cabinet met yesterday to discuss how to make workplaces safer in the COVID environment, and will meet again on Friday to discuss the easing of baseline restrictions. Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said he would like to see the economy and businesses back by July but has been reluctant to name the first restriction that could ease.

Mr Power, however, had no such reluctance and told Sky News cafe’s and restaurants could be the first to return but only if big businesses return their workers to offices. “All those small businesses that have been forced to shut down — so cafe’s, restaurants … all the small service businesses in our economy — we’d like to see them up and running but of course that means a lot of our big businesses need to come back into their offices and start working from offices,” he said.

I really hope you go bankrupt. When start blaming somebody all you are doing is highlighting your own deficiencies. If it was a financial thing thing then we should start suing the US for the GFC.
