Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver's British restaurant chain filed for bankruptcy protection on Tuesday, partly due to increased competition and escalating rents in local commercial districts.
Oliver, 43, who became a well-known figure in Britain and beyond for his popular TV shows, founded his Jamie's Italian brand of high street restaurants in 2008. His restaurant group also includes Barbecoa, a steakhouse, and Jamie Oliver's Diner. The Canberra outlet closed immediately but the remaining five sites, in the Sydney CBD, Parramatta, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide, were salvaged by a last-minute sale to Brisbane-based Hallmark Group. The Parramatta outlet subsequently closed.
Does Jamie Oliver have any restaurants left that haven’t gone into administration? That’d be more of a story.

There is solid evidence based on past experience! This happened under the Gillard government. What about the ships that carry sheep and cattle? Only cattle? The cattle export industry is gone under Labor! The industry needs to move on! One day we’re are going to look back at the way we treated these animals the same way we look back at slavery.
