JUST when we hoped that the ideological claptrap being pushed by corporate boards was going out of fashion, along comes Australian Venue Company, owner of some 200 pubs and other venues Australia wide.
List of Australian Venue pubs Australia wide-boycott
This company has slapped loyal Australians in the face by demanding that its pub managers not celebrate Australia Day. It’s probably a good reason to boycott their pubs on Australia Day.
Sky News host Paul Murray has been left dumbfounded by the company’s decision. Apparently a spokesman for Australian Venue Co says January 26 causes “sadness” and “hurt” for customers. Oh really?
Cairns News has asked Australian Venues Co. to tell us who is actually grieved by Australia Day being celebrated at pubs.
Queensland is the state most impacted by the company’s decision, with 90 venues to stop festivities, followed by Victoria (60), South Australia (20) and New South Wales (10).
Some of the business impacted include Bungalow 8, Cargo and North Byron Hotel in NSW, the Esplanade Hotel, Prince of Wales and Duke of Wellington in Victoria and Port Office Hotel, The Lord Alfred and Waterloo Hotel in Queensland.
The stupid “politically correct” decisions made by corporate boards these days has been staggering – for instance Coles deciding to contaminate cattle feed for their beef with a toxic substance that can damage male reproductive organs. Oh, but it reduces the methane in cattle farts and burps!
And now this venue company decides to pull this incredibly stupid stunt on behalf of who? Some whining neo-Marxist Aboriginal activist group pushing a “grievance” narrative?
Perhaps Australian Venues Co. could take a more meaningful approach to appease the radicals and pledge 10% of all liquor sale profits to indigenous causes?
