The counter , which should be the focal point of any pub, was piled high with used mugs and trash that looked like it had accumulated over weeks.

The bar is owned by Pete Cornwell, who also holds a high-profile job as a stress-testing executive at Westpac. Unfortunately, his reputation in the professional sphere is marred by a disturbing pattern of misconduct in his interactions at the pub and beyond .

Described as uncomfortably pushy and disrespectful , his actions has created an unsafe environment for women who attend Masterson’s. His presence at the bar often seemed closer to that of a unsettling figure than a welcoming host .

Instead of taking action to resolve the damage done by her husband’s actions, she seems to accept his behavior.
