Solomon Lew decries government ‘inaction’ as retail shutdown announced – Sydney Morning Herald
Billionaire retailer Solomon Lew has hit out against new limits on retail trade in Victoria, accusing the Andrews government of causing unnecessary damage to the economy.
“We expect significant consequences from the inaction, in particular, vast amounts of cost in federal government stimulus that is going to be required to support the Victorian community through this challenging period.”
Major retailers such as Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi, Officeworks and David Jones, which traded through the first and second lockdowns in the state, will now be required to shut their doors for the next six weeks due to the rule changes.
