Gareth Parker tells 6PR Breakfast listeners that more long-standing WA businesses have closed due to COVID-19 and work restrictions within the CBD.
"It is urgent I think for the government to recalibrate its settings on restrictions, and it is urgent of major businesses to get workers back into the city," he said.
"Because otherwise, once this wave passes, we're going to be left with a hollowed-out husk of an entertainment industry and a hospitality industry, and the city and the state that we love is going to be a less interesting, less vibrant place as a result."
