Show Notes
The Reserve Bank of Australia eliminates debit and credit card surcharges, aiming to save consumers $1.6 billion annually. However, hospitality businesses, like Big Easy Groups Oliver Brown, fear this could cut profits by 15-20% overnight, leading to increased prices for consumers. Industry groups argue this move favors big banks and card companies over small businesses, potentially causing more closures in the sector. Insolvency experts predict a surge in business failures, particularly in construction, hospitality, and retail, due to tax crackdowns, interest rates, and cost pressures.
