Two hospitality gurus have unleashed an extraordinary attack on 'whining' and 'self-entitled' young workers for making it 'almost impossible' to run a business.  Jake Smyth and Kenny Graham, founders of Mary's Group which owns Sydney's iconic Lansdowne and Unicorn hotels, used their podcast The Fat to take aim at 'lazy' employees who never had to endure the era of abusive bosses in the early-2000s. Mr Smyth, who began working at McDonald's the age of 14, said the industry had over-corrected from the 'bad old days' where managers would scream at kitchen and bar staff. He said the treatment of younger staff in the last few decades had left workers without perspective and in need of a reality check.   Hospitality gurus Kenny Graham and Jake Smyth believe many young workers in the industry today don't have same work ethic which has seen them succeed 'It's almost impossible to run a business now without offending somebody.

Compulsory employer super contributions are due to climb in stages from 9.5 per cent now to 12 per cent by July 2025. Treasurer Josh Frydenberg, however, has hinted the government is considering reversing that increase so workers have more money in their pocket now rather than having it put toward retirement.  An Australian earning an average, full-time salary of $89,123, before tax now receives $8,466 a year in super.

Andrew Cuomo was on Monday forced to cancel his Thanksgiving plans hours after saying his 89-year-old mom and and two daughters were coming to dinner.  The New York governor had told WAMC: 'My mom is going to come up and two of my girls is the current plan. But the plans change. But that's my plan.' His comments sparked a fierce backlash online with Twitter users, including Meghan McCain, noting Cuomo had urged others to stay home over the holidays.  The Democrat's office later confirmed he had canceled those plans, saying the governor will now work 'given the current circumstances with COVID'. Senior adviser Rich Azzopardi said: 'As the Governor said, 'The story is my mom is going to come up and two of my girls is the current plan, but the plans change. That's my plan. I'm going to work — I've got a lot of work to do between now and Thanksgiving,' and given the current circumstances with COVID, he will have to work through Thanksgiving a

Pictured: Jack de Belin NRL star Jack de Belin expected he could do whatever he wanted to a woman who was in the closed bathroom of a Wollongong unit, a jury has been told. 'He expected when he walked around naked it would inevitably lead to sex,' prosecutor David Scully said on Tuesday in his final address at the footballer's rape trial. 'He formed the view it was going to happen whether the complainant liked it or not. 'He took that sex by force ladies and gentlemen.' The St George Illawarra forward, 29, and his friend, Callan Sinclair, 23, have pleaded not guilty to five counts of aggravated sexual assault, saying the early-morning encounter in a North Wollongong unit in December 2018 was consensual. Mr Scully told the jury de Belin had hoped and indeed expected sex would occur, after meeting the 19-year-old at a bar before the trio went to the unit. The woman testified she asked to use the bathroom when de Belin led them to the unit 'to charge his phone&

Broken bottles, used condoms and countless cigarette butts were found strewn across Noosa's iconic Main Beach after thousands of Schoolies descended on the tourist town.  Up to 5,000 teenagers travelled to Queensland's Sunshine Coast over the weekend for a week of wild partying to celebrate finishing their last year of school. A distinct lack of nightclubs in Noosa meant the the town's beloved beaches have served as the meeting point for many revellers, with residents waking up to find their favourite swimming spots unrecognisable. One resident who was going for her morning stroll around the town on Tuesday said she was horrified to see a trail of rubbish sprawled across the sand. 'What a shame that on my daily walk around beautiful Noosa I have to spend it dodging broken glass, used condoms, cigarette butts, cream canisters, cans and bottles,' she wrote in a now deleted Facebook post.  'Who allowed this to happen?'

Investigators are probing whether a pizza shop worker whose lie about how he contracted coronavirus put South Australia into strict lockdown illegally gained access to another quarantine facility. The state was plunged into one of the toughest lockdowns the world has seen after a 36-year-old Spaniard falsely claimed he didn't work at a popular pizza bar. The man's lie led health officials to conclude he had caught the deadly respiratory virus from a pizza box after he pretended to only be a customer. Fears were sparked that the virus had mutated so rapidly that it could now be transferred on a cardboard box, plunging the state into a strict lockdown. But the man actually worked at the Woodville Pizza Bar in Adelaide's inner north-west. It was later discovered the man also worked as a kitchen hand at the Stamford Hotel quarantine facility.  The state was plunged into one of the toughest lockdowns the world has seen after a 36-year-old Spaniard falsely claimed he didn't w

Shocking new footage has emerged of a police officer pepper-spraying two girls after video showed her being kicked to the ground by the same cop. Two 16-year-olds and a shirtless man were arguing in the park at Melbourne's St Kilda Beach on Sunday afternoon. One girl was being restrained by the man wrapped in a towel while the other girl marched directly towards a Victoria Police officer. 'Oh my God go f**k yourself,' she yelled at him. As the screaming girl approached the officer he lifted up his right leg and delivered a swift kick to her stomach, instantly knocking her to the ground.   Unseen footage taken by different witnesses shows the same officer pepper-spray both girls seconds after the kick. The video showed a girl in a bikini scuffling with a man, before the second girl in black approached the cop and was kicked to the ground. The bikini-clad girls then charged towards the officer, prompting him to pepper-spray both of them. One of them approached the officer a
