ONE of the businesses leading the campaign against mandatory workplace vaccinations has conceded defeat.
Violet Tolios, who owns Nightcliff’s Souvlaki Grill and Chill posted an emotional video on social media conceding they’d lost the vaccination fight.
Ms Tolios said the eatery would close on Friday.
In a tearful post, Ms Tolios admitted the battle to prevent mandatory workplace vaccines was lost.
“Due to the Covid-19 mandate here in Darwin we are forced to close our doors and walk away from the business,” she said.
“I’m here with a heavy heart to let our customers know that today and tomorrow (Friday) is going to be our last day of trading and Saturday we will not be open.
“Just wanted to say thankyou for all the support we got to fight this battle and this opportunity to say thankyou to all our staff and we’re sorry we let you down.”
