    Oh really? You can abstain from sex but you can't survive without food.

    I wonder if shops can negotiate rent reduction with their landlords?

    Either that, or just forfeited the bond/security deposit and walk away !

    i was kind of expecting prime minister to say something about brothels and massage places. close or open?
    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.

    am i confused....

    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.

    You can actually order home delivery of liquor via Woolies or Coles, subject to ID on delivery.

    They might be classed as "retail shops", but keeping a 1.5 m distance might be defeating the purpose?

    I've noticed on another list the "Beauticians" are allowed to operate. This involves close contact, but presumably there would be strict safety protocols in place.

    That’s essential, like cigarettes ?

    Some funny bits...

    Just was down at my local Westfield..

    Everything open EXCEPT the massage places, yet by the rules they could be.

    Once 3.30 pm came around it was definitely time to leave with all the school kids (in uniform) turning up and packing the place.
    oh, and it was easy to park anywhere today

    Closing non-essential business due to COVID-19

    Under stage one restrictions, hairdressers, beauticians, massage parlors and nail salons are able to continue operating nationwide for now.

    Why even bother with a fucking lockdown if you're going to keep shit like that open.

    I think the massage shops have panicked & closed because of the wording" Non Essential Services"
    The Government wording was places of mass gathering Pubs ,clubs,gyms, churches etc.Most small businesses especially one on one can remain open.Beauty salons ,hairdressers, Physio etc
    I have a booking with my Physio on Wednesday & he is still open .I asked if his massage therapist is still working & yes she is & had a 10%
    increase in bookings today.
    Ginza & several other establishments have their roster up for tomorrow.
    You cannot have 501 people on Bondi beach but the government still allows 2000 people on a train ,2/3000 people on Town Hall station in peak hour.BUT only one person in 4sqm at a Wedding or Funeral.????????????
    Just my rant for the day

    Yes! These things can change quickly but I am pretty sure most readers here will appreciate these services are essential!

    It's like a soft lockdown. Just go do what you absolutely have to do. Shut all them down and they hit the job seeker queue.

    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 ?
