A scaled-down meeting of Victoria’s state Parliament has taken place to try and resolve the economic damage of the CCP virus. The urgent Parliament debate will focus on budget measures and the temporary COVID-19 Omnibus (Emergency Measures) Bill.

The emergency bill, which is hundreds of pages long, lays out reforms to the justice system, rental, and landlord agreements, employment, and public health.
