The owner of the country’s largest network of pubs has seen a surge in sales in the first seven weeks of the new financial year, helped by people back socialising.
One of the big four bank CEOs this week told an off-the-record lunch with journalists that the Australian economy was in a “purple patch” that showed no sign of cooling despite rapid-fire rate increases from the Reserve Bank.
Gorman asked the fellow how he was liking being back in the office, and the banker said: “I wouldn’t go back to the office – it’s not safe.” His two examples of the post-COVID-19 return to the “other office” are rock and punk band Amyl and the Sniffers selling out the 1200 capacity Pier Bandroom at the Pier Hotel in Frankston, Victoria, next month, and Northern Territory rock band King Stingray selling out The Croxton Park Hotel in Thornbury, Victoria, in October.
