Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced the federal government will provide an economic support package for New South Wales as it stares down the reality of long term COVID-19 restrictions.
Announcing the full details for financial assistance to households and businesses on July 13, Morrison said that although the Commonwealth and the state’s had originally agreed to a support package where the federal government provided income assistance to citizens and the state’s provided business assistance in the case of a COVID-19 lockdown, the outbreak in Sydney had demonstrated a different approach was needed.
