Australians are expected to hit the shops in droves today, with National Retail Association chief executive, Dominique Lamb, saying shoppers were expected to spend $2.36 billion on Boxing Day.
This is up three percent on the 2016 figure of $2.28 billion.
‘This is a much-needed revenue for retailers,’ she said in Brisbane on Sunday.
This is definitely a record-breaking Boxing Day, we certainly haven’t seen these figures for some time,’ she added.
