I think these are the reserve / min rentals..

Auction time: 1pm to 6pm
The upset prices for each stall type are as follows:

(1) Flower and gardening stall: $11,370
(2) Handicraft stall: $11,370
(3) Book stall: $7,750
(4) Photographic equipment stall: $11,370

Where the Fairs are cancelled before the commencement date, the bidding price (i.e. licence fee) will be refunded to the Licensees concerned without interest. Where the duration of the licence period is shortened due to postponement of the commencement date or suspension or cancellation under paragraph 3 or 4 above of the Fairs, the licence fee will be refunded to the Licensees concerned without interest on a pro rata basis based on the formulas set out in the Licence Agreement.

I'd assume a fair bit of inventory has been ordered?

Total shitshow. I really feel for all the restaurants and others affected. Utterly utterly stupid and totally avoidable.

Given how easy Omicron spreads and that we have it in society already, we will never get down to zero. So wonder how long this shit show will continue this time, any bets? 9 months?

I guess if we all leave, they can achieve zero covid..

Max 2 months and then we will have another border opening bubble pop-up and burst and pop-up and so on till November when Dada is anointed as emperor for life and then universal celebration will begin in The Milky way and surrounding galaxies with new unlimited-Covid strategy..
