Former federal member for Reid and pub owner-operator Craig Laundy has praised the quick efforts of the industry bodies and all governments in enacting policies and guidelines to keep the pandemic-hit sector afloat.
Laundy, who runs the multi-million dollar family pub empire with his father Arthur, says any time an industry loses 10-11 weeks of business, its not good, Laundy told
