I spoke to a good mate last night who owns some substantial commercial property in Melbs West… he estimates he )is out of pocket well over a mil in the last 18 months with tenants unable to pay legally contracted leases… Help from Gov? Zilch!
Said mate ain’t a millionaire either, he’s similar age to me (65) and has worked his ring off to get there… these properties were to be his superannuation… Stands to lose everything unless he can get new tenants..
He is absolutely beside himself with severe depression…
And I’m sure there are thousands of similar stories Australia wide?
So, come on, fess up… Who HERE have been financially impacted by these rules?
Versus those WHO have continued to receive their weekly/monthly salaries, and wanta throw rocks at those that dare protest these previously unheard of restrictions??
I swear, it’s ONLY when it hits your own pocket that you question??

Personally covid has had no effect on me financially as I work for a multinational company which I consider my lucky; my work is classed as essential. I do however have a friend who was in catering who has lost everything, her mental wellbeing is a concern to family and friends.
Not Fn funny witnessing an outgoing person who had for zest of life withdrawing into themselves.
So yes the impact on small businesses is devastating to say the least.
I can honestly say I understand why people are protesting against the governments decisions at times whether right or wrong.
