 Matthew GUY (Bulleen) (14:00): On another matter, we are about to lose an entire sector of our economy. Melbourne is about to lose its hospitality sector from the violence that is happening against small businesses, against family businesses, against established businesses. Whether it is tobacco wars or the vodka wars that are coming, this government and this Premier have not even talked about this. We are going to see institutions in Melbourne close because the government is not doing anything to stop these wars against our hospitality sector. Whether it is people from overseas or whether it is gang violence that is from Melbourne, it is hurting small business.
