Almost all retail to close in Vic, page-17

there's many reasons - chief probably is that many aussies are addicted to grog and if they're pissed for 6 weeks - they will wake up and it's over

and, you'd really have riots on your hands if you stopped grog supply

Bunnings are huge - they draw people from wide areas

grog shops are smaller - so, you have people spread out more - the individual catchment areas are smaller - it works better in something like this
