He even commented on smaller food type businesses closing down due to the workforce not being there.
I'm in the CBD most days a few blocks back up the hill from the Quay. I can confirm it's probably 80% back to normal in foot traffic, outdoor gym sessions, people in cafes, etc. CQ is missing all its OS tourists of course, but at least you can walk there now

But I know what yr father is saying - I went to a function in DH last week and it was pretty dead apart from the buildings that hug the CBD. A lot of empty office space there and Pyrmont/Ultimo.
