Pubs and clubs (yes, RSL clubs... Those that you go to to gamble and drink, not Ginza club!) are set to open sooner than everything else because they're a huge cash cow for the Gov. Think about it. It's a place where people share close contact equipment, slapping on those pokie machines or huddled together in a packed bar. That can't be the safest place to open up first, yet they are.
Revenue for the Gov, and maybe a little bit of fun to cheer the masses up. That's what it's all about.
Punting is unfortunately not for the "masses", nor does it bring a lot of revenue for the state, so it will be overlooked. Sorry bros!
