Council passes vaping ban in the CBD

words by Katie Johnson HEALTH

The City of Melbourne has unani- mously passed a motion that bans e-cigarettes and vaping in 11 smoke- free areas of the CBD. The move extends the definition of smoking under local laws to include using an e-cigarette, which is in line with the state government’s Tobacco Act 1987.

words by Rhonda Dredge BUSINESS

With so many factors working against the meat trade, it was a miracle that butchers at the Queen Victoria Market (QVM) were still able to crack a smile on the first day of the new lock- down shopping. Steven Saro, of Alec Watson & Son Butchers, said they had plenty of cuts to sell from abat- toirs not affected by the virus. The company sources its meat from the regu- lar places in Victoria and South Australia. Their glass cabinets were testimony to sup- ply, with a good range of regular cuts, including lamb shoulder at $17 a kilogram, a low-salt corned beef and pork marinated for the barbie. “There is no supply issue,” Steven said. “That is merely confronting the bigger corporate supermarkets.” While supply was secure, the shoppers weren’t out and about as usual at lunch time and custom had dropped significantly. “Being the first day of lockdown we’re not even sure,” Steven said, but he estimated a reduction of about 50 per cent. “We’re being optimistic.” The big issue facing all stallholders at the ▲ Butcher Steven Saro ready for business. market is the new lockdown rule that limits shopping to within a five-kilometre radius.
