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.

Virgin Australia CEO calls for continued govt support | Sky News AustraliaVirgin Australia CEO Paul Scurrah says the airline needs an extension of the JobKeeper wage subsidy due to the volatility of the industry and the uncertainty around borders. \n\n“The prediction that this will go for a little longer will mean that we will need continued government support for the whole sector,” Mr Scurrah told Sky News.\n\n“We will continue to lobby for that, and I think it’s necessary.”\n\nThe airline yesterday axed 3,000 jobs and discontinued the Tigerair brand, after the company released its plan for the new and improved version of the airline.\n\nMr Scurrah also could not definitively say whether more jobs would be lost.\n\n“No CEO of any airline in the world right now can guarantee anything like that,” he said.\n\n“We are still in the middle of a pandemic and the industry is going through the biggest crisis it has ever seen before.\n\n“No one can give a guarantee like that.”\n Just Bail everyone out ScottMorrisonMP Of course they do after firing 3000 odd staff and prob collecting $$ from the Qld Gov..
