“I think that we’re in a perilous state,” Mr Lucas told Sky News host Peta Credlin. “We had hoped, and we had asked for a plan, a plan to get out of this mess. “What we got yesterday was quite the opposite. We got a plan that, quite frankly, is a death knell to our industry. “I’m really fearful for our industry. “I think potentially up to 30-40 per cent of restaurants and cafes across Victoria won’t survive this lockdown.
