That's probably a good point, the cafes are probably more in line with the market place, as they may rely on passing foot traffic, with spare change in its 'pocket'. Whereas the restaurants are a premeditated and budgeted spend.Restaurants most guys I know are raking it in. Cafes are the opposite. They seem to be struggling as they have hit the point where they can't raise prices anymore. Customers are baulking at the expense.
Work from home had an effect as well.
Agreed. However after watching that interview where the owner stated he was already paying his staff some 20% above the award rate it's fair to assume the 5.2% rise had no effect on that business. Everything else, yes, but not the wages.Hospitality is so mixed at the moment. You can't get staff. Delivery drivers are impossible to find with the current fuel prices. And you are paying a huge amount for workers.

I dare say that guy has discovered that running a small business f*cking sucks.Agreed.

Obviously that didn't stop the media from politicising it by blaming the wages whilst ignoring the real issues.
As much as it pains me to say, I think the Chinese are correct.Beijing has called Anthony Albanese ‘ignorant’ and ‘ill-informed’
Bit of a test coming up Monday.Albo's doing alright so far. No complaints.
Fail.Bit of a test coming up Monday.
Hopefully he holds the line on home payments for Covid. It probably should have ended in March.
Labor supporters were thick on twitter saying "how refreshing it was to have a PM that listened".Fail.
Caved into the states and union movement.
COVID payments at least to be shared between states and feds.

Probably not the most popular thing to say on a stock market forum but I'll add some elements of the business lobby to that.Albos biggest threat will be the woke and commie brigade constantly screeching. Hope he doesn't listen. They literally ruined every western country.
You'd never get any argument from me on that score. The current system is not capitalism, unless we admit the mutant crony version thereof... effectively economic fascism.Probably not the most popular thing to say on a stock market forum but I'll add some elements of the business lobby to that.
Some of what the say is justified and has merit, as with most lobby groups there's an element of truth, but some is just trying to prop up outdated business models for no reason other than self interest.
When it comes to the latter, government needs to let capitalism do its thing and let the outdated fail to make way for the new. There's more than a few trying to avoid change right now, clinging to what's become obsolete.

Ya don't understand Horace, when ya is in opposition, ya supposed to oppose everything, regardless of who made the original decision.Good on ya Bill.
It was interesting to see on Afternoon Briefing (ABC TV) a LNP Senator get her cues wrong and criticise a decision introduced by the previous government !

personally, I would have left out the "sometimes".I get that, but sometimes the pollies just look stupid
I think we are going to see this happen more and more, over the next few years, especially on renewable sites as they are generally proposed in remote and in culturally or environmentally sensitive areas.
