Australian Hotels Association Director of Liquor and Policing John Green says Sydney’s hospitality industry is in “dire straits” with the financial situation becoming “more grim by the day”.
“From ten weeks of shutdown, to operating over the last year after that with significant restrictions to then be forced back into lockdown now.
“Many of them have obviously been spending a lot of their capital, their available funds, over the last year while operating under restrictions. “Now they’ve been shut down for two, at least three weeks – they’re in dire straits. Their financial situation is more grim by the day.”
