It’s not all doom and goom !

I just realise how much money I could have saved when this thing is over , say, optimistically, in 6 months ?

RnT punting once a week $100 x 26 = $2,600 minimum
No footy tab , no pokie at club, and /or no horse racing punting , on average, may be net lose $200 x 26 = $5,200

No eating out, yum Cha etc ! Easily saving another $200 a week $5,200

So, could be $13,000 better off in six months ?

How about you guys ?

For me i lost alot of revenue.... made over $100K in month Feb and after NBA and college bb got suspended did not make any..
Lucky I got a full time job.

Brothel will be 100% closed same with ml shops.
But you know who will be open? Private one who have their own property (or in private property) and those dodgy Asian private under same person but have over dozen place all over Sydney...

It will be interesting

There will be restrictions on travel so even if private’s try to operate it will be difficult to see them. Plus with all your family at home it will be hard to make any excuses like “just off to Bunnings for an hour or two” for you to punt as everything will be closed.

Anyway as AH says, the regular punters will save lots of money so there is a plus side.

The biggest problem will be the WL’s and ML’s as they can’t work so no money and if they get sick in Australia and have no medical cover over here, they are in deep trouble.

God save us all.

Just watched the movie Contagion. Watch it as it mirrors what we are seeing now with an out of control virus.

If the shops are required to close within the next 48 hours due to not providing essential services, I wonder whether there will be a closing down sale with 25% or 50% off the price. Would punters take the chance and do last minute punting if such offer was made?:question:

Though you would mention how much you could save if no punting, like $100k bla bla.

For shop, they still have to pay their staffs. For staffs, they have to pay their bills. They can give smal discount but if up to 25-50%, the girl rather goes home without tips than serving stingy customers.

I think shops will have a closed front door as well, but certain business will continue.

There will be travel restrictions, but not as part of this non essential business shutdown. People (at the moment) will still be free to come and go as they like.

But restrictions aside who in their right mind would under these circumstances risk it. I’m surprised shops haven’t shut up before now.

In the meantime give the porn sites and missus Palmer and her five daughters a work out. If that gets boring swap hands.

The PM's message tonight about closure of non essential services applies to places of social gatherings. It doesn't suggest brothels or massage shops. The places to be closed from tomorrow mid-day include clubs, bars, places of worship, casino, cinemas, indoor sporting venues and gyms. Shopping centres and schools are not required to close. Shops like beauty salons are not required to close. It sounds like adult venues are not affected under stage 1 of closures. The NSW and Victorian states wanted to go further but the federal government didn't want to go that far at this stage.

one side, they are entertainment and not essential so must be closed
the other side, its just 2 people (sometimes 3) in one room so this is still okay.

My interpretation is that bottle shops, even in pubs, can remain open for take away service as long as the separation distance rules are observed. There has been no specific ban on the sale of grog;

Restaurants and cafes will also close, but be allowed to serve takeaway, while essential services - including retail shops, offices, workplaces and schools - will remain open.

Thanks for that!

I suppose massage therapist is an one on one services and not mass gathering, realistically speaking , if the masseuse is wearing a mask and he or she sanitized the hands before giving the massage - is it safe enough ? The only risky part is the shop itself , the room, the massage table , table cover , towels and most importantly, the head hole ! How is it gonna be cleaned after each clients and disinfected ?

A lot of the shop shutdowns were occurring before the lockdown directive, presumably from management fear of person to person transmission after effects on their staff.

Legit massage shops are recognised as a genuine health service, so the government is unlikely to deny access to them. Not much different in purpose to a mainstream doctor's practice or medical centre. RnT shops usually have to prove they are run by suitably qualified persons to get DA approval, so where do you draw the line? You can't deny anyone the right to a haircut for 6 months!. Brothels may be a bit different, but denying some people of this service may result in mental health issues?

Who determines if shops are "legit"? There are legit shops which are not in shopping centres. How do you distinguish between a Thai shop that offers extras and one that doesn't?

Even blatant RnT shops are supposed to have a qualified "practitioner" as the licence holder, and a lot of girls working in them are qualified.

Perhaps only those shops recognised by health funds should be allowed to remain open?

It’s more an example of stupidity like many of the comments here arguing about weather these services should or shouldn’t be shut.

FFS this virus is real it is easily transmitted through body fluid and not the kind that is normally held back by a franga. It is also more deadly then the common flu. The reasoning and self justification I’ve seen here is exactly the behaviour that saw too many at Bondi beach the other day and is the exact kind of reasoning that does nothing to stop this thing.

Nah I bet you're wrong about the feds. I bet soon there will be a press release that explicity mentions other types of businesses, reminding us to follow the rules, not listen of Aussiegaijin about police spies and, to stop panic buying.

Just the usual clarification and errata that occurs when rules are hastily put in place.

That is the only important restriction of the night adult entertainment venue shutdown. He must have forgotten to say on Sunday.
Not big difference all I can see. What in 2 days a new add on restrictions? What waiting a magic number for a lockdown I think is 5000.

Waxing salons, beauty salons, spa and massage parlours, nail salons. Health-related services are exempt

Blue balls might be a health hazard; we need to get them released at least once a week,
Blue ball some people need a daily release. Just ask BC.

Given that COVID-19 is
- a highly contagious
- deadly disease
- spread person to person by often asymptomatic carriers (i.e. people with no sign they are carrying)
- which if we don't get it contained has the potential to kill tens or hundreds of thousands of Australians.

Given the above, even if the government has not explicitly said brothels must close, it seems crazy to be in close physical contact with strangers at this time.
This especially applies to workers, but also to clients.

I love sex, and I enjoy having a lot of it - but now is not the time.

I know it will be hard - especially for the workers and establishments who rely on the sex industry for their incomes - but we don't want to be the vector that spreads this disease.
First for moral reasons, second because it will lead to a major backlash later if that proves to be the case.

So I will be hanging up my punting boots till this is over.
But I will also be saving up my punting dollars for use when this is done.

So the establishments and workers incomes will be delayed rather than foregone.

I recommend that this is what we all do, stop for now, save our budgets and come back to enjoy and support the industry when this crisis has been dealth with.

I will also note that all "entertainment facilities" are now ordered closed in NSW

Couldn’t have said it any better myself.

While on the subject of saving up the punting dollars (same here actually) but also spare a thought for all those average income earners who lives from pay cheque to pay cheque and now queuing outside Centrelink !

Lord have mercy on us all.

Might be a big market for blow up dolls (or sheep if you come from across the ditch) for a while.

Perhaps we could get some reviews of these products; Brand X vs Model Y?

Could have done it more frequently but I’m way past my prime Bro. So , under normal circumstances, one shot at home and one session out there some where would make me a very happy little vegimate! Now if all of a sudden my weekly appetite just doubled, it will raise suspicions at home man, better not let my lovely Mrs know I am still capable of more than 1 shot per week if you know what I mean ?

And the type of lubes suitable for the type of doll brand or the size of the doll breast size.

She might be going elsewhere because you are only doing one shot at home

You think that’s funny ? Or you know AHLUNGOR very well ?

Don’t joke on people’s family affairs if you’re not good mates !

Well, this pandemic COVID-19 pandemic lockdown crisis is a big test for small business owners. Many small business owners had trouble sustaining their businesses in times of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Today the government didn't care much about the small businesses and didn't provide any help. Hopefully, I found a good company that supported me with solving my misfeasance claims (https://ndandp.co.uk/insolvency-claims/misfeasance-claims/) and provided an excellent business recovery plan that helped me keep my business and switch to the online platform quickly.
