Australian National Retailers Association chief Margy Osmond took a page out of the US playbook and turned it on its head after she warned that warm weather has hurt retail sales.
”We have been out there quite publicly saying that the warm weather will have had had an impact, especially in the discretionary spend and in the fashion environment,” Ms Osmond said. ”But from the point of view of the big discretionary spend retailers, they have got a store full of winter clothes that nobody has wanted to buy up until the last week or so.”
