In short:

Jeanswest will close more than 90 stores in Australia, putting hundreds of people out of work due to tough retail trading conditions.

The brand is the latest local retailer to collapse, after the parent company behind Rivers, Katies and Rockmans entered administration last year.

What's next?

Stock at Jeanswest stores will go on sale immediately as administrators look at ways to restructure the business to focus on online retail.

True. We've also had many years of mostly LNP government which I reckon has tainted people's view of government overall. The LNP/MSM circle jerk certainly doesn't help when anything decent the ALP does doesn't get mentioned.
