Thinking about grabbing a drink in the City today? You may be out of luck.
Pubs, bars and bottlos have reported being completely out of stock or every sort of booze after the attendees of the CFMEU knocked off from protesting duties yesterday afternoon.
We spoke to one publican who said their Swanny D was depleted in 5 minutes after the small army of HiVis worked up a thirst chanting their way from Elizabeth Quay and through the CBD. Adding,
“It was like a cyclone. A cyclone or hard earned thirsts. I don’t think many of these blokes are used to a full day of work and the froff consumption was the proof in the pudding. We’ve got a small contingent working on the University but nothing like this”
Another bar worker said she was sent out into Northbridge to source more legs of Swan but the ravenous swarm had depleted all stocks. She told us,
“After getting through all the Beer, Jacks and Cruisers they were forced to smash what was left. Ever seen a Bikie looking dude hammer down a Midori & Lemonade? I have”
Accordingly, licenced venues managers have been on the blower to suppliers all morning trying to source more froffs.
Good luck.
