Members of the live music sector are to meet Minister Catherine Martin this afternoon to discuss a roadmap for the return of live concerts and other cultural events.
He said that from 14 September up to 30% of workers in the industry who are on the Pandemic Unemployment Payment "will become unemployed" as they are transitioned to job seekers allowance and no longer permitted to be self-employed while on the payment. He said "the next six months could be more damaging than the previous 18 if a re-opening strategy does not take everything into account."
An industry complaining about being discriminated against wants to open and promises they will also discriminate others if allowed open. How ironic
Probably 2036 with 50% of capacity. Tony says we are not there yet
You can’t though, can you? I mean… live music will reopen when cases drop and attending a live music event won’t lead to a massive outbreak of covid-19. It’s been a year and a half, people. We know this by now.
