Restrictions on food processing in Victoria won't lead to shortages during lockdown, says Premier Daniel AndrewsFrom midnight on Sunday, meat processing plants — a source of Victoria's recent outbreak — will have their staffing levels cuts by up to one-third, sparking fears on panic-buying. Oh, that's what Dan says is it? So can we assume then that he is once again talking bullshit? So cannibalism is starting to look good. If you eat a vegan or vegetarian do you need to add any vegies with it? Yeah right, cause he's done so well so far.🙄

Melbourne's lockdowns will cause 'small businesses to fail' and big business to surge | Sky News AustraliaThe Australian’s Adam Creighton says one of the consequences of Melbourne’s recent lockdowns will be the failure of small businesses and the survival of large ones. \n\nOn Monday Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews ordered stage four restrictions across metropolitan Melbourne for six weeks ordering any non-essential workers not to leave their homes from Thursday.\n\n “Of course, in the long term, that’s going to have big consequences on competition and pricing power,” Mr Creighton said. \n\n“You’re going to move to an economy where you have far more larger businesses charging people more money and there’s far less competition.\n\n“All of those small businesses won’t be there to keep a check on the big businesses anymore.”\n\nImage: AP Adam_Creighton Well that's what you GRUNTS want yeah.. Let the market DECIDE Adam_Creighton And hopefully Creighton stops stealing our oxygen Adam_Creighton IF small businesses fail and large ones survive ScottMorrisonMP & JoshFrydenberg will be to blame.
