Sky News host Peter Gleeson says a massive problem is developing in the country which will affect many families moving forward through the coronavirus pandemic.

“I’m talking about mental health,” he said. “The anguish and pain some people are going through right now is unparalleled”. He said a serious issue is being observed in Victoria, as business people who had done the right thing through lockdowns, now face the prospect of an affected second half to 2020. “Now, they are back in lockdown, the victims of a bungled hotel quarantine fiasco which should have seen ministers sacked and bureaucrats gone”. Yet he said, “nobody has been held accountable.

Vic lockdown will 'drive up' food prices across Australia | Sky News AustraliaInvestSMART’s Evan Lucas says “it’s simple economics” that food prices will rise due to the strict stage four lockdowns in Victoria.\n\n“In terms of the fact that we won’t have the same amount of supply on the supermarket shelves, it will therefore drive up prices,” Mr Lucas told Sky News.\n\nStage four lock downs on businesses and manufacturing came into effect today, resulting in depleted workforces for many industries, including food processing.\n\nMeat, and lamb in particular, is expected to be an issue under the strict lockdowns as almost 40 per cent of it is processed in Victoria. \n\n“The supply of meat will come, but it will clearly slow up and therefore drive prices higher because demand will be just as it was with less supply,' he said. You mean greed any food shortage or price hikes will be done deliberately by the 2 big supermarkets.
