If you are on their private property, yes. ("they" can)
If YOU are on public property, and can see into the venue; no, they cannot.

Any agent of the store who has authority to do tell you not to do so. A sign, in a reasonably clear place, would also work.
A security guard- clearly has authority
Bag boy- less clear
It's store specific, but really any employee could have that authority.
My recommendation- don't ask. You have the right until they say otherwise.

@thatnikonguy there are no fixed law here with regard to photography, but what i do know you cannot take images of women directly as well as government and military establishments. Freely at your own risk you can take images just anywhere, i just make sure to ask permission first before taking the first click. When they say no it is NO; otherwise its all paparazzi style and if caught your thousands $ gear can be forcefully taken away and you cannot do nothing about it -- tough luck =)

@thatnikonguy Just people attitude.
Thanks for the video Matt... if we cannot use publically taken images for 'commercially' advertising ourselves as photographers, does this mean that we cannot use our 'street photography' images of people in our online portfolio to demonstrate / advertise our photography?

@lightpass777 in australia you can sell them, but you cannot use them to promote a business or product. So make sure all images on your page are available for purchase.

Who has the right to stop you from taking photos on private property? Is it only the owner, or do employees, management, customers, or only police...? I've been thinking about taking certain photos in major shopping centres in Victoria, but didn't know right/wrong. Any advice on approaching shopping centres for permission to take photos for a portfolio? Or am I best of just shooting until they threaten me/kick me out?

@alanemail11 I think if you approach them, get permission should be easiest. I would say the owner and building management have the right - security etc. Usuaully it is a very common issue, and they know if someone has been given permission, and will quickly toss out anyone else.
