The business community has come together and signed an open letter, calling on state and federal governments to work together to implement the planned path out of lockdowns once vaccinations reach 70 to 80 percent.

The letter, published by the Business Council of Australia (BCA), is signed by the CEOs of over 80 major companies that employ almost 1 million Australians, including the big four banks, Coles and Woolworths, Telstra and Optus, and many more.
