Tasmanian Labor
Third worst result in the country after Victoria and NSW
Worst drop nationally for the December quarter
Retail figures for December show Tasmanian businesses have missed out on the usual Christmas bounce.
The pandemic is continuing to weigh heavily on confidence and unfortunately Tasmanian consumers – businesses and households – are clearly feeling the pinch.
Shadow Labor Treasurer David O’Byrne said Tasmanians are feeling a deep sense of insecurity especially anticipating JobKeeper and JobSeeker coming to an end early this year.
“For many businesses, households and individuals this means a lifeline that’s helped keep them afloat through 2020 is going to be cut,” Mr O’Byrne said.

WINNIPEG Capacity limits at malls are coming into question in Manitoba as the province slowly starts to reopen. When modified Code Red health orders came into effect Jan. 23, the province said retail stores were allowed to be open at 25 per cent capacity. While some businesses now require lineups with staff counting how many people are going into the store, it isn t entirely clear what capacity limits are for malls. Dr. Jazz Atwal, the acting deputy chief provincial public health officer, said on Tuesday that capacity limits for malls are 25 per cent. A spokesperson for the province said the government doesn t provide specifics to malls and retail stores to count people, given the vast array of differing infrastructure for each site, saying it is the business’s responsibility to follow the capacity limits.
