CONSUMER CONFIDENCE
By all accounts, confidence in the Australian economy is higher than in April during the height of lockdowns. A Melbourne Institute and Westpac index saw a record jump in May and a solid jump in June.

SOFT OPENING - CONSUMER CONFIDENCE A KEY FACTOR IN RECOVERY
As states and territories reopened their economies in various phases throughout May and June, it became clear that simply being open is not enough to get firing on all cylinders again. First, there are safety regulations limiting how many patrons a business can serve at a time. Just as important is consumer confidence. If shoppers don’t feel safe visiting a business, they’re not going to, and there’s no forcing them. Some services requiring intimate personal contact have an even harder time with this. Just because someone can get a massage doesn’t mean they’re comfortable with it.

COMING OUT OF OUR CAVES - LIFE IN PUBLIC AS RESTRICTIONS EASE
The pubs reopened to great rejoicing and some free beer as coronavirus restrictions eased across Australia, although unfortunately, it was too late for millions of litres of suds that had to be tipped down the drain.

Rules vary by state and territory, but over the past several weeks, Aussies have been able to dine out, go to holiday homes, and gather in small groups once more.
