Sky News host Alan Jones says Australian businesspeople are receiving lectures from state premiers who are leading Australia by the nose and won’t listen to anyone.
“I am not sure how much longer people can go on with this rubbish,” Mr Jones said. “Big businesses in Victoria have said … lockdown politics will kill the golden goose of the state economy. “Politicians who have never employed anyone, never filled out a payroll tax slip, they know everything and they won’t listen. “I am speaking to businesspeople all the time, and all they get from premiers are lectures. “We are being led by the nose.
” Mr Jones spoke with Restaurant and Catering Industry Association CEO Wes Lambert about the issue. “Restaurant and Catering Australia is going to lead our industry out of this,” Mr Lambert said. “We don’t believe that the politicians always understand exactly what the effect is of their decisions on sub-sectors of the industry. “We certainly speak to many politicians on a daily basis, and what we find is that we’re often listened to, and then when it comes to action it just doesn’t happen.
