"It is highly likely that no one in the Department of Health has worked extensively in hospitality businesses to determine what is and is not practical, low cost and functional,’’ he said. “We are calling on the government of Victoria to do what the government of Queensland has done and adopt this industry plan as the benchmark businesses need to meet."
"Everybody in the food game needs to be serious,'' he said. "It is about doing the right thing, keeping it simple and manageable and making sure systems are in place so the team can follow them.Some of Victoria’s leading industry figures – Alla Wolf-Tasker, Andrew McConnell, Chris Lucas, Jean-Paul Prunetti and Matteo Pignatelli – have signed an open letter urging the government to allow restaurants and cafes to reopen next month.
Melbchief Where have the govt said 'Under the road map, indoor dining won't resume until Victoria has recorded 14 days straight of zero new coronavirus cases.'? Every reference I can find says Third Step: 'Restaurants will open in a predominantly outdoor capacity'
QLD also have no local transmission!
Queensland is going for elimination = isolation. Anyway, Vic. is still in suppression mode - like NDW.
And every other location on the planet is irrelevant because...
nice rigged moderation of your comments Chip. Unlike the past, a distinct lack of critique. Even though the overwhelming majority support the current lockdown measures. The Age and Costello actively campaigning for the libs.
Public health first. Then industry reopenings. Stop trying to push the deadlines. No one will come to your restaurant anyway if they're hesitant about a third wave.
Yes but what about the evidence in Qld of diners unknown to each other at separate tables being infected - aerosol transfer aided by air conditioning - also seen overseas.
The difference is Queensland doesn't have, as far as we know, hundreds of active cases (daily new figures irrelevant in this respect). Victoria is on the road to re-opening when the case numbers are in the zone.
An unusually worded post guys. At first glance it looks like Guy Grossi wants hospitality opened because Queensland hospo hasn’t had cases. He doesn’t. He’s planning sensibly. Obviously not comparable because Queensland doesn’t have our community transmission numbers.
The Gold Standard Keep Morrison out and Queensland will be alright
Qld hasn’t had the community transmission either !!!! Ffs do you not understand the virus cannot be allowed to run rampant !!!!
Once a Murdoch hack always a Murdoch hack. auspol
Globalbiosec Critical to have such initiatives being openly reviewed for staged reopening on the back of lower CT
Is this...the same plan/campaign that was devised with 'Change Victoria', a company that has ties to the Liberal Party and the IPA?
