More than 200 pubs banning Australia Day celebrations

More than 200 pubs have banned Australia Day celebrations next year claiming it causes sadness and hurt.

Owners of Australian Venues have instructed managers not to acknowledge or celebrate the day.

The company owns at least 90 pubs in Queensland, nearly 60 in Victoria, almost 20 in South Australia and 10 in Sydney.

This is ridiculous! I hope people boycott these pubs

Simple, do not go to those 200 pubs, see how they get on as a business. Leave them to it. Plenty of other boozers to spend in.

Translation: More than 200 pubs, Australian patriots can avoid. Right?

[andrewmandich]

Simple. Don't attend these pubs on australia day. They will change their mind when they get zero revenue.

[russellk.bonney]

I'm staying away from those pubs.

[mcinco]

What's going on in Australia? Please unfuk it.

[LORDOFJOY]

So now the pubs are taking away a day of national pride.

[kevincotta]

That's just a lot more customers for the pubs who did not ban

[paulnugent]

Those woke pubs will be experiencing firsthand the ‘sadness & hurt’ of Australia Day when their patrons start boycotting them. 😂

[brettchristoffel]

Give em the Bud lite treatment, boycott them into bankruptcy

[polarbear]

Can we access a list of these establishments? So it can be promulgated far and wide?

Remember them and never go in them, simple as that!

This is very un-Australian . Catering for all of the new arrivals to this once beautiful country. It can be turned back around quite easily, with the right leadership unlike the ones in charge at the moment. Everybody around Australia and the rest of the world, I'm wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I they are going down this path, then those same pubs should shut shop altogether due to sadness and hurt of people who have lost loved ones due to drinking at those same pubs.

[davepowelldrumz]

pokies cause more ' sadness and hurt ', but the pubs make $$$$

[ACynic]

Then they can also boycott my hard earned Ozzie dollars.

[deb]

Put up a list of those pubs so people can boycott them

[russellk.bonney]

Australia venues. Bye bye. There are other pubs.
