Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison has urged the country’s four major banks to release funding for small businesses that have registered for its relief support package program, Jobkeeper.
“I am aware that there has been some frustration amongst businesses, in particular, in accessing bridging finance with banks. We are aware of that. I have no doubt the banks are aware of that as well and we need to be addressing that,” said Morrison in a joint interview with Treasurer Josh Frydenberg on April 23.
